That's a more complex question than you might think. First of all, is your server also your firewall? What is the server running (linux, windows)? The short answer is that, yes, things like that are possible...

If you have a firewall you can usually set it up to block pings.

Another solution is to use an external router and configure the router to block pings. On the low end of routers, Linksys, for one, can block external pings. The advantage in this case is you can still ping inside your LAN for troubleshooting/testing purposes.

You have the songle computer connected directly to a cable or dsl modem? Can't do you want, then. At least, not that I know of. You need a firewall or router... I could be wrong here.
