If a node owns the group, that means that the IP address is bound to his own
interface. In other words, the TCP/IP packet won't leave the NIC and you
always will get replies. If you cannot ping it from even the other node, then,
- Check connectivity to your switches
- try pinging to the gateway
- Is ping allowed (firewalls, ...)
