Why does InetAddress.isReachable return false, when I can ping the IP address?

Question

InetAddress byName = InetAddress.getByName("173.39.161.140");
System.out.println(byName);
System.out.println(byNam         


        

Answer 1

Or using this way:

public static boolean exists(final String host)
{
   try
   {
      InetAddress.getByName(host);
      return true;
   }
   catch (final UnknownHostException exception)
   {
      exception.printStackTrace();
      // Handler
   }
   return false;
}
