Troubleshooting network issues starts with the ping utility. Hosts on a network that don't respond to ping indicate asome sort of problem in the network configuration.
If the host responds to ping but does not respond to higher level protocols like network discovery (mDNS etc) it would indicate problems with those protocols being blocked in the network either explicitly or as a result of routing, network segmentation etc.
Code:
ping host
ping ip_address
