Try traceroute to your machine from other machines and see the path it
follows,
/bin/traceroute <your IP>
Also, try
/usr/sbin/tcpdump -n (add -i <interface> also to listen to a
particular interface )
on your machine while the other machine ping to your machine. You will see
repetitive messages like the following in your machine when ping works.
14:14:37.116336 IP 192.168.5.1 > 192.168.5.3: icmp 64: echo request seq 5
14:14:37.116473 IP 192.168.5.3 > 192.168.5.1: icmp 64: echo reply seq 5
try whether you get any hints from the output, especially from the IP
address.
