Cannot ping local ip addresses but can ping hostnames (and cant connect to local devices by IP)

Im havinf a problem with one of my customers SBS 2003 servers. Did a load of updates over weekend (inc net card drivere). Yesterday it was reported they couldnt connect to a network printer and Ive since found that I can ping hostnames on the network but if I ping the ip address I get the following error


Pinging 192.168.16.2 with 32 bytes of data:
