The firewall of Windows 2008 closes ICMP replies by default.
You can enable the ping command with following steps:
1) Go to Start
2) Open a command prompt
3) Type in the following: netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8
Test it out, the server should be pingable now!
To disable it again, you give in this command: netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 disable
