The fact that the W98 boxes cannot ping the XP box may be significant.
It could be the XP box is running a software firewall to ignore incoming
pings. I am not running XP, so I can't really advise you about how to
disable it.
To try to debug this problem, you could connect your linux box to the
Netgear switch (unplug a W98 box temporarily) and see if you can ping the
W98 boxes from there. If you can ping the other boxes, then that
probably means there is something that is not configured correctly on
the Netgear router (or some other problem with that segment)- but you
would be isolating the problem somewhat.
Also, when you have restarted your linux box when connected to the
network switch run these commands:
# route -n
# ifconfig
And post the model numbers of the Netgear devices.
