Where are you attempting to ping from? I have troubles if I use the 
gateway machine to ping boxes because sometimes it just won't work
(something to do with IP masq, and connections to the same machine
from inside the net).

But I can usually ping to outside world from the inside boxes.

Cheers,
Adam
