I like to check /var/log/dmesg and syslog. The card that cannot ping or be pinged may actually be experiencing a hardware issue. I had a card once that I was able to assign an IP to, but it failed to function. It turns out it was an IRQ conflict. Moving the card to another PCI slot resolved the issue.
