When troubleshooting on the network, always start at the bottom and work up.
Start with a ping to the IP (not the hostname.)
Then ping the hostname.
Then nslookup the hostname.
These basic steps tell you what is working and what isn't. Don't hop around, use progressive testing and you'll get to answers really quickly.
That's good advice,
We usually start with Aloha based issues such as the control service running on Server, any files telling it to stop, that sort of thing.
Then we move to Windows/networking.
If you know other things are working, you can move up the "stack" to where you can guarantee success. Like if you are transferring files, you know ping works.
