Do you really want ping?  I ask because many people mistakenly think that if
you can ping you can open a TCP port and if you can't ping you can't.

Both are false.  Ex, many network admins turn off ping response (to prevent
ping-of-death attacks).  And, just because you can ping doesn't mean that
the port you want/need is open.

I'd suggest actually trying to open a connection to the port that you need.

HTH.
