What are you trying to ping?  An IP or a NAME (try pinging an IP on the internet 204.71.200.67, 216.115.105.2, 204.71.200.68, 204.71.200.74, 204.71.200.75, 204.71.202.160)?  Does DNS work?  Do you have a firewall that is blocking your traffic, does your router know what to do with traffic from you IP?  What do you get when you ping an IP. What do you get when you ping a Name?  Try traceroute.
