Re: PING gets an IP from a name, but no reply from the IP

Hi
I hope Anthony doesn't mind for me to step in....

Are these machines on different networks?
check routing paths. Check routers configuration.

What is going on with this?

I can ping a computer name on the network and PING resolves the name to
an
IP address, but there is no reply from the IP address.

What setting/configuration do I need to modify to fix this. It has
affected
quite a few users and I am concerned that soon there will be
communication
issues as a result of no reply from the IP address even though it has
been
resolved from a name.
