In your /etc/resolv.conf you have a "nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" line
right?
Try "dig @XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX machine1 A" and see if you get an answer
if you do then at least you know that DNS is working...
You could also try "host machine1" to get a similar result, but
by using the /etc/resolv.conf settings.
If these two things work, but ping still doesn't, then try:
service nscd restart
I have had problems with nscd, so have disabled it on many
systems.
