MS-NET is resident software, and AFAIR ping-able.

Right.  I thought about it later and wondered what the other DOS
stacks did.  What does MS-NET or Trumpet do?  Probably the same thing
as mTCP and WATTCP.  I remember using ping in DOS to ensure
connectivity to Gateways and DNS, but I wasn't running any servers so
there was little reason to ping the DOS machine.

Read the documentation for whatever networking software you are using.

mTCP in particular is not a "resident" program, so your FreeDOS machine
will not respond to ping requests unless an mTCP program is actively
running.  WATTCP programs have the same behavior.
