What are your firewall rules?
Is your firewall a separate box, or is it on the server itself?
What brand of firewall are you using?
Are you using NAT translation or port forwarding?
Is your internal IP different from your external IP?
The ping that you did from outside your network might not have gotten a 
response from your server, it might have gotten the response from the 
firewall itself.
