If you ping your own IP address and it times out it is because your firewall is most likely configured to block ICMP ping. Depending on where it is blocked (i.e. via LAN or WAN) the methods to rectify the issue varies.

For WAN ping,yYou might want to consult your router manual as a starting point to see if there is a way to enable something like WAN ping or whatever it maybe called.

For LAN ping it is a software firewall that is blocking it. In this case check for any antivirus software/firewall software that would be blocking ping. If it is not that then your OS has a firewall built-in which maybe is blocking it. Again checking relevant documentation helps.
