No, it's fine, it's there, it's just that
somewhere on the Wisconsin network  ping requests are "filtered":

(From a Linux machine): 

 lynne{maechler}438> ping rsync.r-project.org
 PING franz.stat.wisc.edu (128.105.174.95) from 129.132.58.30 : 56(84) bytes of data.
 From 144.92.128.166: Packet filtered
 From 144.92.128.166: Packet filtered

and traceroute subsequently reveals 
....
