Why can't I ping from client to server?

Hi,

I have a server and 2 client PC's linked on a hub. The server is loaded with
Windows Server 2003 (I guess this is an upgrade to Windows 2000), and the PC's
are loaded with XP Professional.

All have the "workgroup" set to WORKGROUP. Their IP addresses are 192.168.1.1,
192.168.1.2, and 192.168.1.3.

I can ping from client 1 to client 2, and vice versa. From the server, I can
ping to client 1 and 2. However, from each client, I cannot ping to the
server. This tells me that the network cards, the network cables, and the hub
are good on this network.

But because I cannot ping to the server, I cannot mount onto the server from
the client PC's.

Anyone knows why I cannot ping from the client PC to the server? Thanks.
