New XP machine doesn't answer it's 'ping' but can surf the web

I added a new WinXP machine to my home LAN with a couple
old ones running Win2K. All are in workgroup "Home".
The new WinXP system doesn't fully participate in the LAN, even
though Windows Firewall is turned OFF on the new machine.
My router has given it an IP address, 192.168.1.102.
When I try to "ping" the new machine (by its IP address)
from any of the old ones on the network, all requests time out.
If I try to "ping" the new machine by its network name instead,
the old machines claim it is an "Unknown host."
Windows Firewall is turned OFF on the new machine.
The new machine can "ping" the old ones by their IP addresses
but not by their network name(s). If I try, it cannot find them.
The new machine can surf the web just fine.
If I open workgroup "Home" on my old machines, I can see the
new one, but if I try to actually open it, I get "Network Path
not found."
The new machine has TCP/IP enabled on its LAN card.
Any ideas?
