I've seen this on a lot of linux boxes, and although I can't say for sure in
your case, In mine it has always been attributable to DNS servers not being
reachable.
Try placing the machine you are pinging from and the machine you are pinging
to in the /etc/hosts file and then pinging again.

I had/have the same experience pinging a PowerMac 7200/90 (YDL 2.0)through a
NetGear router, though I can't offer an explanation.
