        Check windows firewall on the hosts you can't ping.

            Check the default gateway on the client machines you cannot ping.

            If the routing is in place for some it should be in place for all so it will be something else. Check all the things.

            This is for port forwarding but many apply to your situation as well:

              Thank you for your help, but the problem still exists. I have also realized that when i restart those computers that I cannot ping, the ping starts to go though for about 30 seconds and then drops again.

              What could be the problem? Somebody please help.

                Nowhere near enough information. Sounds like an it could be an IP address conflict though. Just a guess. We have been given very little information.

                You'll probably have to packet capture to see what's going on.
