I couldn't turn the firewall off because of company rules, but created rules for ICMP and SQL (which was the original requirement).<br />
<br />
Thanks for the help!<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
We changed a server to new hardware, gave it the same fixed IP and settings, but a new name, and now we cannot reach it from another workstation.<br />
I did a ping -a and noticed the IP was still resolving to the old servername, so I had the DNS entry changed, now it resolves correctly, but still can't ping it.<br />
<br />
From the server itself we can reach everything, just not the other way around.<br />
I have gone over all the network settings and can't find anything wrong.<br />
<br />
Where to look next?<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries, organized in abstraction layers, traditionally called "Link," "Internet," "Transport" and "Application”. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP defines packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.
