Pinging requires a lower level kind of socket than those components support. Indy (http://www.indyproject.org) and ICS (http://www.overbyte.be) both have components capable of pinging. The problem is that special OS rights are required in order to use such sockets. In cases where OS rights do not allow that kind of access, your only other option is to either shell out the OS's use command-line ping utility and parse its output, or else access Microsoft's undocumented (but documented by third-parties) ICMP.DLL file directly.
