This sounds like an ARP problem, although that seems strange cause
pingreply is written to respond to arp queries for itself. You could
publish an ARP entry on another machine on your network to make sure.
On a freebsd box I would do that (as root) like this:
arp -s 129.237.126.120 0:c0:f0:4c:36:53 pub
If it is indeed an arp problem, then pingreply is not responding. You could
try tcpdump on another machine to see whats actually happening, or put some
print statements in the arp response section of net_receive() in
pingreply.c to make sure its getting the queries and sending out replies.
