When the ping command "times out" it means that a reply was not received from the remote system before a preset time limit was passed.

The REASON could be that the remote system is down, or running very slowly, or there is a network problem.
Or the remote system could be refusing pings.
Many firewalls block pings because they let an potential attacker know the system is running.I believe to ping back n forth btwn two computers both need to configure their firewall to "Allow incoming echo requests".
