Please take to heart the comment I made above. Below, you say a ping 
"failed", but you do not provide the sort of details I was trying to ask 
you to provide.

Please tell us the *exact* command you entered and the *exact* message ping 
provided when it failed. pings fail in at least 4 distinct ways I can think 
of, *not* counting DNS issues, and the message you get from ping will help 
me, or someone here, figure out what is going on in your case.

You might also try a traceroute and see how far it gets. If you want help 
interpreting that, don't even think about providing anything short of the 
complete output of the process.
