ping

I've installed windows server 2008 as a VM for the developers here to work on. Installed SQL Server 2008 as well as IIS7.

I am not quite sure why, I can remote into that machine using the name I gave to it (winserverdev) but the guys that are supposed to use the bloody thing can't.

One very interesting thing is that I can connect but I can't ping... not the name nor the IP address.

Is there anything that I should be looking in order to make it work?

Any ideas are welcome. Thanks heaps in advance, I really appreciate it.
