I was using ping when right before the server crashed I got a ping response of general response failure. What is this and what does it mean.
Thanks

Well, if you were PINGing a machine just before the remote machine crashed, then I would guess your error message means that the IP stack on the remote system stopped.
And if the remote system's IP stack stopped functioning, then you would get a destination not answering message back from PING.
