I doubt it; have you tried pinging by address instead of by name?
This "feels" like a problem with Windows; do you have a firewall on the W2K laptop? It might be blocking ping traffic.
I'd pop a Knoppix CD into the W2K box and see if it works correctly on the network; that'll eliminate wiring/etc issues.

Kent,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I pinged by address with the same results.
I don't have a firewall on the W2K laptop but I do on the debian box. This must be responsible for it. I forgot about the firewall completely. I will reconfigure it and see if it works.
Regards Ogya
