It may be a firewall. Check to if they are in the same workgroup. Also check to see if they are getting a similar range of addresses and same gateway

ip 192.168.0.11
subnet 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

ip 192.168.0.12
subnet 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

ip 192.168.0.13
subnet 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

It could be that you dont have TCP/IP loaded. Proxy Server under NT 4.0 had the ability to use other protocols, essentialy protocol isolating systems from the internet, only the proxy server had an ip address. If IP isnt loaded, you might see them but you wont be able to ping them.

Try to check on your default gateway for your NT server and it all depend on which NIC card gateway is on when you perform the ping. Command to use "route print". You might want to add in permanent route to your server for certain IP to use your chosen NIC card for data flow.
