Use a ping based on TCP.

If you have access to a Windows box, use http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/jj729731.aspx

Download the zip, unpack. From CMD prompt cd to unpacked folder, then run with -t flag like this:

psping.exe -t www.anywebsite.com:80

psping to remote host with open TCP port

Please note: this assumes you have a web site running on remote host (port 80 in example above)
