I recently got two windows VPS for testing and stuff. The issue I faced was that even though they were Windows 2008 VPS, I still could not ping it. Came to know later that its a security feature and hence all pings are disabled.
You just need to enable it by running the following command on command prompt
netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8
If you wish to disable it, later, you may run this to do so
netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 disable
Was this with BurstNET?
Yes these were with BurstNET before I changed my mind to cancel them all because of the unexpected downtimes I was having and BurstNet refusing any such thing (http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/burstnet-6-36-512mb-windows-vps-4-36-512mb-openvz-vps/#comment-37850)
