Ping doesn't tell you much. It could be that ping is allowed on the internal network but that the ACL on the routers are set in such a manner that connections on certain ports are not allowed, or that from one IP range to an other connections are refused.
I had once a problem connection to a database, i was able to ping but firewall was blocking the actual connection.

Best that you check with a network engineer to see if you can connect to the target from your machine / ip range

Were you having DS 7.x running with the same configuration?

In my case we were migrating DS 7.X to DS 8.X.
DS 8 was running on a new machine and the ACL of the firewall did not allow me to make an ODBC connection to the database, something that did work on DS 7.X
I also tried pinging the machine from the new Datastage8 server, which was no problem, so in the end i went to the network engineers. They told me that the ACLs in the firewall did not allow me connection.
