There is no difference between the ICMP packets generated from WhatsUp Gold v7.04 with a right-click ping and a normal monitor ping.
Now, many networks have implemented ICMP filtering this year based on packet size. This is intended to block the nachi/welchia worm. The filter would catch the ICMP packets used by WhatsUp Gold to monitor devices. Are you being affected by such a filter? Try using Nettools and play with the packet size. See whether small packets get through and large ones don't. If this is the case then you would want to upgrade to v8.03. This has a smaller default ICMP size and a registry setting that allows that size to be configured.
