Blizzard has begun blocking ICMP packets (used by the PING and TRACERT troubleshooting tools) on the b.net servers.

From www.battle.net...
March 12, 2002:

Battle.net servers no longer support the PING or TRACERT (traceroute) commands. This is due to abuse of these utilities in malicious attacks.
To test connectivity to Battle.net follow these steps:
1. Run "telnet uswest.battle.net 6112" (replace uswest with the appropriate Battle.net gateway name).
2. Once connected, press "c". Battle.net will respond with a login prompt.

If you fail to connect with this method, you may have a connectivity issue.
