No gotchas that I can think of. Do you have a single static IP, or a range? If a single, they aren't doing anything goofy like requiring you to be DHCP to receive an IP from a reservation on their end, are they?
Did you do your pings from a PC, or from the diagnostics page of the SonicWall GUI? Try from there and maybe use Traceroute instead, if you haven't already. Lastly, what kind of firewall rules did you set up? The SonicWall can be configured such that only known (logged in) users can get out to the internet, and the firewall knows who you are by default (admin) if you're logged in to the GUI. Once you close that session (or it times out) it may not know who you are and you're blocked from going on the internet.
