Let's see now, standard troubleshooting:

Do everything by IP address, until the basic network is known to be
good lets not add the resolver into the picture!

1) Make sure your new IP addresses are being used with the right
subnet mask and gateway. Since you cannot ping the machine, see if
traceroute shows something funny (like trying to go to a router)>

2) Use tcpdump to watch the network while you are pinging the other
machine. Do you see an ARP? An answer to the ARP? What does the ARP
cache look like?

I am not sure how many monkeys it would take to type out the
works of Shakespear. I do know how many cats it would take to spam a
maillist if I leave my computer on.
