Not able to ping WAN IP's but i can able to ping all the local IP's (i.e within the network) how to resolve
There may be some problem in your net connection or problem in that ip.Check your connection again and then do ping for some familiar ip's like Google,Yahoo,and so on in cmd.If it works well,check with the IP you need.If it shows the same error again,then sure the problem is on the Ip.You can do ping in cmd by typing ping website name.You can also do ping test at Whoisxy.com .

Saibrains is correct unless your firmware is of earlier version. you might have to upgrade your firmware. Also you can not use a port #
No ports required for Ping as it uses icmp packets
It needs to allow icmp 'echo-request' (type 8) packets out and icmp 'echo-reply' (type 0) packets in
to allow ping request. On earlier versions of the sonicwall firmware it only absorbed Ping request as to stop hackers from ping attacking pass the firewall.
check the manufactures website for your model and see if they have newwer firmware.
The GUI should have a place where you can set it up
