Windows Server 2003 IP ping times out
If I ping my static IP address that my server is behind it times out i.e. the server doesn't exist.
If either of the pings time out, fail, or do not return the correct values, then either the DNS lookup is not working properly or there is some other networking or routing issue that you will need to resolve.
I found this error description online at http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2005/10/22/483684.aspx
my IP is 204.13.8.9 the server is behind a network router and is a file sharing server with Windows Server 2003 R2 installed.
Can someone help me get this to work?

Do you have a hardware/software firewall in place that is blocking ping requests? If you are trying to ping by the ip address and not the name then DNS should not be an issue. Can you ping anything that is behind the router or is it just this server that times out?
Do a tracert: tracert xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and see where the connection stops.
Is the Windows Firewall enabled? R2 will have the WF enabled by default, which will block ping requests by default.

If i try to run the WF the OS throws an error: Windows FIrewall can not run because another service is running that might use the network address translation component Ipnat.sys so I can not open the WF to see if it is blocking things.

This solution is only available to members.

You can also run the command net stop ipnat.sys which will stop NAT and allow you to configure the firewall. You can start it again with net start ipnat.sys after you perform the configuration.

system error 1060 has occurred the specified service does not exist as an installed service if i do the net stop

Also get te same error if I do net start. I am executing these commands from the command prompt. Also, I could not find in the windows task manager any service running by the name of RRAS and I don't know what that is.

RRAS = Routing & Remote Access under Administrative Tools, note that this will erase any set configuration of the RRAS and you will need to re-run the setup for it after you make your changes to the WF if you need the RRAS running.
