If you cannot ping by address, then you have a connectivity issue which may
be hardware related but could also be an interconnectivity device or a
driver. Did you upgrade your NIC driver when you upgraded the NOS... and
reapply SPs and OEM drivers?

I'm assuming when you cannot ping you lose all connectivity, rather than you
just cannot ping. Can you confirm?
