Comment (by hinder):
Unfortunately it looks like ping is not a reliable diagnostic in 2011. Some network administrators think it is a good idea to block ping, even though this violates internet standards and makes troubleshooting very difficult. From my laptop:
{{{ MacBook-2:temp $ svn checkout https://svn.cct.lsu.edu/repos/numrel/simfactory/branches/ET_2011_05 simfactory A simfactory/udb.example.pm A simfactory/QUEUE A simfactory/adcirc A simfactory/adcirc/metadata A simfactory/adcirc/dateparser.py ... }}}
but
{{{ MacBook-2:temp $ ping svn.cct.lsu.edu PING asylum-b.cct.lsu.edu (130.39.21.11): 56 data bytes Request timeout for icmp_seq 0 Request timeout for icmp_seq 1 }}}
I don't know where the ping is being blocked, but that looks to be a separate problem.
