Does anyone experience the issue on XP resolving IP by PINGing hostname. I am administrating 50 XP static IP workstations, they are all in the same domain. all workstations registered properly on DNS server running W2K3 via joining domain. I can resolve hostanme/IP using nslookup command but cannot resolve by PINGing its name to resolve IP. What is possible caused?

Ping is blocked. What point would it serve if you know they are working?
"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

problem resolved, need to run ipconfig /registerdns every time PC restart in order to ping host by name. the problem is only happened if pinging any host in the network, not external host nor domain controller.
