Confused about ping...

I had some troubles loading a web page, so I
decided to try looking for connectivity.
I did this:

$ nslookup www.worldwideschool.org
Server:         151.164.11.201
Address:        151.164.11.201#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   www.worldwideschool.org
Address: 207.195.133.148

$ ping 207.195.133.148
PING 207.195.133.148 (207.195.133.148) 56(84) bytes of data.
 From 209.120.242.6 icmp_seq=0 Packet filtered
 From 209.120.242.6 icmp_seq=1 Packet filtered
 From 209.120.242.6 icmp_seq=2 Packet filtered
 From 209.120.242.6 icmp_seq=3 Packet filtered

What does "Packet filtered" mean?

Using "man ping" gave no results on this, and "info ping"
shows the same thing as "man".

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
