Not according to standard electrical codes - for instance, the National
Electrical Code requires neutral and ground conductors to be SEPARATE,
with the ONLY connection between them being a single point at the service
entrance. I think the idea is to make sure the ground conductor doesn't
carry any significant current, thus avoiding noticeable voltage drops
along it, thus making sure that it really is at ground potential everywhere.
(I suppose a large enough voltage difference between different "ground"
points could explain the original poster's problems....)
