I created a new droplet (Centos 6.5) earlier today and I can access the server via Console Access but I can not ping or ssh the server from my local machine.

The IP Address is 104.131.123.194.

Any ideas? Thanks.

After power cycling I tried destroying the droplet and created a new one. The new one works fine.

    Could have been a firewall issue? Without knowing more of the details we would be stabbing in the dark really! Firewall's are always key things to check in situations like that.

    It was a fresh instance so I don't think it was a firewall issue. I had a buddy try to ping from his house and he couldn't reach it either. Whatever the problem it was destroying and remaking the instance worked even with the same IP.
