Why not? What happens? Your question is lacking some critical details. What output do you get from the commands when you try and run them? Does any connectivity work or is it just ping/DNS that is failing?

You can't ping or nslookup a URL. – joeqwerty – 2014-10-18T17:59:59.177

Are you running
nslookup localhost/WordPress? If so, that is a URL. You can't nslookup a URL. – joeqwerty – 2014-10-18T18:09:03.430I need to figure out if I can access my WordPress with my terminal – raj – 2014-10-18T18:10:57.960
You're not answering my question. Are you trying to run
nslookup localhost/WordPress? – joeqwerty – 2014-10-18T18:12:21.850yes I was trying nslookup localhost/wordpress – raj – 2014-10-18T18:13:51.237
OK then as I said, you cannot nslookup a URL. If you're trying to access the /WordPress site and it is not the default web site then you'll need to set up name-based virtual hosting. – joeqwerty – 2014-10-18T18:18:04.740
