Apple IP Gateway: Cannot See Other Clients on Same Server (5/96)

I have set up two Macintosh systems on Appletalk that use the Apple IP Gateway to get IP connections to the Internet. Both machines can connect to Internet services and visa-versa, but the machines cannot talk to each other. For example, a machine on the Internet can ping these two machines. These two machines can ping any machine on the Internet. However, neither of these two machines can ping each other. Why?
This issue was resolved with the IP Gateway 1.0.1 patch. This patch can be obtained from the following sources.
