[techtalk] Getting a computer on a network.

But Jeff, I've seen situations where ping has been turned off for security reasons.  

Haven't followed this thread closely, has traceroute been tried?  

Is telnet turned on on the machine you can't telnet to?

I think your site has network connectivity problems.  Regardless of security 
policy, all machines should be able to ping each other.
