I don't think that will help... 
ping works at a very low level, and if that's not working but higher level 
protocols are, it implies that the packets are getting discarded.

This is one of those situations where knowing how to telnet to
different ports is useful.

E.g. try "telnet server.ip.address 80" 
followed by "GET / HTTP/1.0" (return return)

John, is the server the other side of a firewall or router?
