Yes and no.  You can ping a URL that consists of merely a
hostname.domainname combination, and if you do, you can say you're
pinging a site, but in fact you're still pinging the IP# the
hostname.domainname resolves to.  If if your DNS or your hosts file is
wrong, that could be the problem.  That's why I made the comment I did.

apologize.
