Hi,

Perhaps the computer you are pinging to, does still have
the MAC of your 3-COM card. Every computer has a list of MAC
addresses which belong to different IP addresses. After
some time this MAC address expires and the computer request
again which MAC address belongs to your IP number/ethernet
card. If you are too fast with testing, the gateway will
send the IP packets to your old card.
