Could you show us ifconfig eth0 (assing this is the relevant interface)
just to make sure netmasks, etc are ok.

Also look at iptables -L on each system.  Are you blocking icmp types 0 or
8 somewhere?  If you log firewall blocks somewhere you may wish to look
there while pinging.

Did it actually report "connect refused" or did it just hang?  The
difference is important.
