Switch ports around and see what happens.
If that doesn't help, change IP addresses.

They're all coming from the same DHCP server with no MAC mappings?

I'm not running DHCP except on the wireless hub (which only get plugged in when guests bring WiFi devices into the house). This is all static IP. All using the same netmask (I checked).

I presume you mean switch physical ports on the switch? Dunno why that hadn't occurred to me -- running downstairs to do that now.

One more clue

Running tcpdump on the same machine that's trying to ping the recalcitrant Win98 box does show ARP replies giving that computer's MAC address, but no other packets originating from it.

Switching the wires around did make the LEDs on the switch do funny things briefly (as did cycling power on the switch) but produced no changes in the output of ping and tcpdump.

But the LEDs do suggest that the switch is acting switchlike. Who told my switch it was a switch? I'd been meaning to, but I know I hadn't gotten around to it ....
