    # IGNORE ICMP BROADCASTS
    echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts

    Try changing that line it's the only one that refers to icmp request.
    Just 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts'
    I don't even have this file. What version OS are you running?

    absolutely right, I have a standby Windows 2000 Advanced server with ISA
    installed for the same operation and the same network, and when Linux server
    breaks down I put this server up, and I am facing no issues with it...so
    there has to be something wrong on the Linux Box which I am not able to
    figure out.I am an fan of Linux and when stuff like this happens it really
    upsets me...hence these discussions!!
