I added a new IBM comp to my small network, operating system is Windows XP. I can connect to this computer through PC Anywhere but can't ping it

Firewall is set to block ICMP. You can connect, but can't ping it.

Firstly, the ping program may be disabled at the host computer which you want to ping. This is due to some security purpose.
Secondly, Firewall installed in your computer may block pinging other computers on the network. So try to ping other computers in the network. If it working means no problem with the firewall.
Make sure the ip address you are entering is correct.
The Syntax of ping command is
ping
For example ping 187.25.68.223

Well I don't know much about this sort of thing but I assume that you have a different IP address on both machines. The only way I know how to ping is to click "run" in the start menu and type 'cmd' then press enter and type:
ping (and then the IP address of the second machine). Maybe I'm way off what your asking but I thought I'd write anyway

Should be able to ping it, provided you have the right IP address. Are they set up on the same workgroup? also, can you see the machine in your network neighbourhood? Check to make sure the correct protocols are installed IPX/SPX for example. I have no experience with PC anywhere but some with xp networks.

Either the firewall is configed to drop ICMP requests, or a router en route/ switch is not allowing ICMP requests through.

You have to give precise ip address to that pc then only you can ping

bostonian is probably right - make sure Windows firewall is turned off
