I have already done this and the ping response is normal if you ping the IP address directly. Also if I hook a Windows XP workstation to the network in the same fashion (directly to the cable modem) it does not experience this problem. It only affects the linux box.
contents of nsswitch.conf
---------------------------
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.
