    Balaji,

    It looks like you have a named instance. (SQVAL17\SQLDEV_1).

    PING checks the existance of a physical host and the fact as to whether or not it is active. In this case, you need to ping SQVAL17.

    SQLDEV_1 is an instance of SQL Server on top of the host SQLVAL17. The SQL instance will NEVER respond to a PING request.
