Enable Ping on Sonicwall

Should be enabled by default but I can't seem to ping the public wan interface. This device is at another location and I can ping the private Ip but the public doesn't give a response. Looking at the ping setup there seems to be a lot of entries in comparison to our other sonicwalls that only have a few.

This is our Ping setup under access rules.

             Ping              Add Del
 56      LAN      >      LAN      1      Any      All X0 Management IP      Ping      Allow      All                         Enabled        Edit this entry A service depends on this rule
 57      LAN      >      WAN      1      All Interface IP      All X1 Management IP      Ping      Allow      All                           Edit this entry Delete this entry
 58      WAN      >      WAN      5      All Interface IP      All X1 Management IP      Ping      Allow      All                           Edit this entry Delete this entry
 59      WAN      >      WAN      9      Any      All X1 Management IP      Ping      Allow      All                         Enabled        Edit this entry A service depends on this rule

Ensure that the 'Ping' box is checked on the 'General' tab of the WAN interface.

X1 is the public IP so WAN      >      WAN      9      Any      All X1 Management IP      Ping      Allow      All     won't suffice?

And yes by VPN, sonicwall has a VPN connection setup that connects our office with that office.
ok, I updated my last post please re-read! I missed that you had WAN > WAN the first time I read it.

Yes, the VPN ping is unrelated to the WAN ping...separate Zone.
Any update on this?
