i forgot to mention one important thing...  i can always ping the 
machine from within the same network. so it seems that it's not really 
the machine itself. the theory about the switch could be - except all 
the other machines that are on the same network do not have that 
problem. they are always pingable from the outside, even when the 
machine in question is not.

and of course there is no other machine with the same ip on that 
network. i did check...

thanks....
