The other obvious thing is to check to see if the server is plugged in, and that it has an IP address, you are pinging the correct IP address and that there are no communication breakdowns between the server you are pinging, and yourself. If you are running a 3rd party firewall, you will need to check its settings. If you are using the Windows firewall, it depends on the version of Windows you are running. When you PING it sends an ICMP packet, which some some firewalls will filter. In Windows XP, you can disable/enable ICMP packets. If it won't respond to PING on a local network (ethernet, usually), then it could be a Firewall setting. In which case, where are you pinging it from? A local network (LAN), or from the internet? I assume you mean that the server is not RESPONDING to ping? There's quite a few things that can cause the system not to ping.
