Actually, no. On looking again, you made a typographical error both in your
ping test and in the above URL:

The hostname is "babylon4.tffenterprises.com" - note the 2 f's, like in my
email address. :)

The host is definitely pingable... from literally every machine I've tried,
other than the one poor Leopard client I described earlier.
