At home Im running a domain consiting of both Server 2008 standard and Server 2008 R2 standard. On my computer dual booting vista and Windows 7. The problem I'm having, with my windows 7 install, I can't ping or remote into Server 2008 R2. It'll ping and remote into the server 2008. With Vista running, i am to remote and ping into Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2. Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2 are able to ping each other as well.. Not a clue why Windows 7 isn't able to see the serve. When i ping, i get destination host unreachable. Any suggestions?

It is probably being blocked by the firewall. Make sure icmp requests are allowed.

Then why can he ping it from his Vista build?

the firewalls are turned off on server 2008 R2, like i said before, windows vista, and my other server 2008 server can ping and remote desktop into my server 2008 R2 just fine. But Windows 7 cant ping it even though it can ping server 2008 just fine.. I'm running vista/windows 7 on the same machine.

Are you pinging by IP or by Name?
 
Check your routes on both Vista and Windows 7 on the same machine. It seems like there might be discrepancy between them.

You can check them by going into a command prompt and running ROUTE PRINT

If ping can't resolve the host it'll return a different error then "Destination host unreachable", something to the effect of "Ping request can't find host 'hostname'."

As Crusty notes, the "Destination Host Unreachable" response to a Ping request is only "achieved" under certain circumstances. Simply not having name resolution or querying a non-existant IP address won't give that particular response. You can type, "Ping abcabcabc" or "Ping 300.300.300.300" and won't get the "Destination Host Unreachable" response.

Here's a discussion of "Destination Host Unreachable" that may help. This reference, and some others, point to issues with ARP.
