Can you ping your ISP's DNS servers?

Some internet websites can't be pinged, their router is blocking it. That's why pinging your external DNS server is a better test.

I have been trying to install 2008 on a variety of platforms: AMD, INTEL x86
and X64, Virtual Server, VMWare and anything else I can think of. I can't
seem to figure out how to get the network to connect. I've tried it on
machines with 1 and with 2 adapters. No difference. I keep getting
"Unidentified Network", no DHCP just APIPA. When I use a static IP I can at
least ping the router/cable modem, but can't even ping by IP beyond the
router. I'm obviously missing a fairly simple step, but I just don't see it.
Any help for the terminally IT blind????
