If you can ping the machine you should be able to connect to it using the
..Net Framework. Just do a Dns.Resolve.
C# sample that connects to the HTTP port of a server:
IPHostEntry serverHE = Dns.Resolve("servername");
IPEndPoint serverIP = new IPEndPoint(serverHE.AddressList[0], 80);
Socket client = new Socket(serverIP.AddressFamily, SocketType.Stream,
ProtocolType.Tcp);
client.Connect(serverIP);
