Well, ping is the usual first line of diagnosis....
You're sure it's not a routing issue?

Many times I've had similar situations
and most usually it was that my gateway
or server(s) didn't realize who my client
was/where he was located any longer.

Entering him and his IP in their /etc/hosts
often did the trick.
