I have seen this with both Apple and Win 7 products taking an IP and because of the way the firewall was configured not responding to ping's or several other products. I was only able to trace it back to a machine by killing switch ports one at a time and resetting DHCP until the offending machine was off the network. There had to be an easier way but I was at the time just in too much of a hurry to get the job done to look another way.
Just for your info/laugh the the Win 7 machine was the management system and took the least amount of time to find. I was moving it from one subnet to another then remoting back in and "discovered" that I had no problem. Put that machine back in the original subnet and problem came back.
