Summary so far;

Actually what I am saying is:
1] Computer with problems cant ping anything but itself
2] All internal computers can access the gw (and internet), except for
computer with problems.
3] The gateway machine has no problems, neither do any of the other
computers on the LAN.

As for the stuff you want me to do;
One of the first things I checked was the firewalling, and I then did an
ipfw flush. (just to be sure)
security logs show nothing, probably due to that firewall is completely open
on the internal interface and firewall is default to accept. If you really
really think the security-log can be of help I can post it, but please read
on.

Everything else in the network, except for fawlty machine 192.168.0.1, works
problem-free and have done so in over two years. the computer 192.168.0.1 is
brand new and is set up on the same physical location and the same tp-cable
as the old computer. (which is not used anymore).

When I ping from 192.168.0.1 to ANY host  no packets leave the
interface-card (according to hub).

The only thing that so far has prevented me from throwing the NIC out the
window is the fact that if I reboot the computer, and boot up WindowsXP
instead, everything works perfectly. This also rules out problems set
outside of 192.168.0.1. (or am I wrong?).
