If you're behind a router, forward the ports you need.  If you're behind a firewall set it to allow traffic on the ports you need.  If you're behind neither, or if you have them pre-configured it could be your ISP making those ports stealth that you're needing to use in order to be pinged.

Ping uses a part of the IP protocol that is port-independant. It's a header flag. Forwarding ports won't do anything.

Routers generally have an option to block pings, which is on by default. If the ISP is blocking pings, don't expect it to change.
