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



The name is resolved first (by dns) to enable the first ping to go out. This
is totally independent of the ping procedure.

The devices you are pinging are not returning the ping... for any number of
reasons.

If one of these devices is a box with both a hardwire NIC and a wireless
NIC, disable one. Many laptops will not return a ping if they have two NICs
enabled. (weird, I know).

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.
