OS 5 uses ping where it didn't before?

I upgraded my PR4100 to OS 5 recently and everything is working except that it doesn’t detect “the internet” now; it says “No internet access.” I played around and discovered that if I turn my router firewall off it works. Looking at the security logs it appears to be blocking ICMP Echo. Is this new? Can I change it to some sort of IP/URL method? I might be hosed because I don’t have a way to block ICMP Echo that on my cheapy ISP provided router.
