Exclamation Can not ping host name

Problem: Not pinging my host name on other system on the same subnet ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In our LAn My Linux machine and other machines has static IP address defined
I added hostname and my systems ip address in /etc/hosts (RHEL 4), I set up DNS server
Here are results of various ping tests:
|
ping to my Ip address on my system itself : both using Ip address & host name =YES
ping to internet domain name and address =yes
- Linux systems on the same subnet - with my host name =NO !
it is showing host name not found.
- Linux systems on the same subnet - with my address =yes !
- Systems on different subnet - using both address and host name = NO
