Try running tracert and check your firewall settings. MS likes to do stuff to you "for your own good" without consultation.

This morning I VPN'd to the office and attempted to get a Remote Desktop connection to a box. It returned that it could not be found. So I opened a Command Prompt. DNS server is correct according to IPCONFIG /ALL. So I check NSLOOKUP. It tells me I have an IP. Okay, I've been able to ping this box in the past, so PING boxname. I get something odd. IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS to be sure. Yup still there. I even copy pasted what I typed in the NSLOOKUP back to ping to be sure my dyslexic nature wasn't playing tricks on me. Anybody know what I can look for to a PING response of: Ping request could not find host boxname. Please check the name and try again.
