You won't have much luck from your internal network however remotely - many routers block the ability to ping by default.

Turning the ability to ping the router remotely depends on your router/modem however here is what mine looks like:

If you want to see if your internet connection is alive, pinging your own IP is not a good indicator. Perhaps doing automated lookups through dig/nslookup or pinging another IP address to see if its connected might reveal better results.

Loose lips may sink ships - Be smart - Don't post internal/commercially sensitive or confidential information!
