Can you ping it? It might not be running at all!
Sadly, the inability to ping (or traceroute) to a host is no longer a reliable indicator of whether or not the host is up or even if it exists. Tools like nmap will tell you, but who knows what paranoid-security-theater-homeland-security laws you'll run afoul of if you scan strangers?
