Remember that ping can be blocked We have several static IP's that will not return your ping because we have the routers programmed to reject it. We also have most ports going to 192.168.xyz.254 so they will not respond. There is a tool on www.grc.com that is good for checking to see how 'open' you are to hackers.

This morning I VPN'd to the office and attempted to get a Remote Desktop connection to a box. It returned that it could not be found. So I opened a Command Prompt. DNS server is correct according to IPCONFIG /ALL. So I check NSLOOKUP. It tells me I have an IP. Okay, I've been able to ping this box in the past, so PING boxname. I get something odd. IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS to be sure. Yup still there. I even copy pasted what I typed in the NSLOOKUP back to ping to be sure my dyslexic nature wasn't playing tricks on me. Anybody know what I can look for to a PING response of: Ping request could not find host boxname. Please check the name and try again.
