If you cannot access a site or server by name but you can by IP, then it is most likely related to a DNS issue.<br>Make sure you have a forward lookup 'A record' in your domain DNS (assuming a Windows domain) for that server at 10.0.0.148. Otherwise, when you ping, the name will never resolve and can result in this issue.<br><br>If you have the proper A Record in DNS, another issue may be the PC you are attempting to ping from has a DNS entry in the NIC settings which is NOT your local Domain Controller. Such as a static 8.8.8.8 versus the IP of your DNS server. Changing to the DNS server IP may resolve this problem. <br><br>
