Can surf the web, can't ping

Hi,

I can surf the web, FTP works, but I can't ping. I pinged the
loopback address and it worked fine. I can't ping my remote SQL
Server database or sites that I know for fact have servers that don't
reject pinging. DNS works fine.

Why I care? Well, I'm a bit confused (don't know the importance of
the pinging issue, but..) - I have a DotNetNuke installation on my
ISP. Uploading the file system from my ISP into MS Visual Studio 2005
Express through FTP works, but it takes about 10 minutes to bring up
all the files for my project. When I try to build the solution,
basically it hangs and doesn't do anything, though it says at the
bottom part of the Visual Studio connecting to files over the web.

When I connect to my ISP through WS FTP, it works fine. It's very
fast. I don't know what the problem is in terms of these lags in
uploading files from my DotNetNuke installation from my ISP and why it
hangs when I try to build the solution.
I'd be most appreciative if anyone can help

Sincerely,
Newbie Rodriguez
