If you are using not using DNS and pinging with the hostname, you really need an entry in your /etc/hosts file for each host on both systems to ping both ways.

If your company is using DNS then you can check your /etc/resolv.conf file and see what is in there. Please print here if you can. This may be where you problem lies, because you need to have a nameserver defined here as well as your domain. The first line should say "domain abc.com " where abc.com is your host's complete domainname like myhost.abc.com.

Also, Try ping with the IP address instead. You should be able to do this.

RESOLV.CONF(5)							File Formats Manual						    RESOLV.CONF(5)

NAME

       resolv.conf - Domain Name System resolver configuration

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/resolv.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The  /etc/resolv.conf  is used to configure how the host will use the Domain Name System to resolve hostnames to IP addresses.  It may con-
       tain these two lines:

	      nameserver     IP-address
	      domain	     domain-name

       The nameserver entry tells the IP address of the host to use for DNS queries.  If it is set to 127.0.0.1 (which is the  default)  then  the
       local  name  daemon is used that may use the /etc/hosts database to translate host names.  You normally only need a nameserver entry if the
       name server is at the other side of a router.  The default nonamed name server can't look beyond the local network.

       The domain entry tells the default domain to use for unqualified hostnames.  This entry is usually not given in which case  the	domain	of
       the local host is used.

       The long version of this story can be found in resolver(5).

FILES

       /etc/resolv.conf    DNS resolver configuration file.
