Ping Returns Wrong Ip address

I am in a Win2003 Server enviroment with about 70 XP clients. One of the servers has the address of 10.0.0.2. All of the clients can ping this server and get replies with the proper address except for two workstations. When they ping the server the reply comes back as 1.0.0.2. (discovered because of problems connecting to a program that runs on that server) Never seen any thing like it and cant find any documentation on this issue

Thanks

Posting the result of ipconfig /all may help.

but you can try some article Here

The ipconfig looks fine. What do you get by running ping -a 10.0.0.*?
