can ping yahoo but not other domains

[keak]

Hi there,

I am trying to ping a domain from my server but its giving me 100% lost. I can ping yahoo fine and I am wondering if anyone can suggest places where I can look into.
/etc/resolv.conf is set correctly as my other servers can ping the same domain

iptables -L 
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

If you use nslookup or dig or host on the domain name, does it return an IP address?

If so then the DNS part is working fine and it sounds like a routing problem, in which case you should try traceroute to see where it's getting stuck.

Keep in mind that many hosts are protected by firewalls that prevent responses to external pings.

Things might be fine, but you're not going to get an answer.
