Answer 1

It sounds like a DNS issue. Clear your DNS cache.

Answer 2

Since your server is NT, there is no firewall to worry about, in any case if there was it would never reply. If you are pinging by ip address it can't be dns. It sounds to me like a network load problem, if you are using hubs for the connection, change to switches, also for 30 machines you really need to have all 100M cards, if the server card is a 10M you are bottle-necking your traffic at the server. Check also the amount of traffic when all the machines are idle, if any machine has a spyware or similar program it may block network traffic with garbage transmissions. The ip address you are showing is NOT a private ip address, unless your machines are all internet registered you should not be using it. The internal address range for the 192 subnet should be 192.168, with a netmask of 255.255.255.0, so you might be attempting to route disallowed packets to the internet.
