ICMP (ping) is almost never routable from outside to an internal network. A large number of networks block it at the last network hop anyway. ICMP can be used for a denial of service attack and you don't want to expose the structure of your internal (non-routable) network structure to the outside world anyway. That's what NAT is for and why the internal network uses non-routable address ranges (192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x)
