If you have a personal firewall installed, make sure you have either temporarily disabled it, or allowed it to answer to pings. If you are using windows firewall, the setting is in "advanced", "allow incoming ICMP requests". With other firewalls look for either "ICMP" or open up port 8.
rindi,
If FW is blocking ICMP, then it should show request time out message, not the error msg as posted,
