Ping is part of the basic functionality of TCP protocol. If you want to restrict the reply without using firewall you would have to change the protocol.
You would have to implement your own flavour of the TCP protocol and not use the windows version.
If you are knowledgeable in development, you could look for an Open Source TCP protocol like FreeRTOS change the source code to meet your needs.
