Ok then, why didn't ping work?
Have you got ping turned off on knight? If so, is that some sort of security or performance tuning that gurus do?
In other words, if one is confronted with a situation like this in the future - no ping response, no nslookup response, no DNS entry - is there a way to know if the machine you're trying to reach is alive?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Scott.
