Currently I am pinging an IP Address but getting the A! response. Could any body tell me what configuration have probably been implemented on the remote network router?

As you can see here: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/105/traceroute.shtml#add
The A! means Admin Denied, so it seems that the other router is configured to block traceroute 'attempts'.

Basically I want to know the configuration / command set on the remote network router.

Sorry, my fault. But you just have to make use of extended access-lists which block some ICMP commands.
If you want to permit ping, but not traceroute, then you have to permit echo-reply, block the rest.
access-list 101 permit icmp any any echo-reply
access-list 101 deny icmp any any
access-list 101 permit ip any any
If you want to permit traceroute, but block ping replys, switch it around, permit time-exceeded, permit unreachables, deny echo-reply.
access-list 101 permit icmp any any time-exceeded
access-list 101 permit icmp any any unreachable
access-list 101 deny icmp any any
access-list 101 permit ip any any
If you want to block all ICMP outbound then you need the following:
access-list 101 deny icmp any any
access-list 101 permit ip any any
Ofcourse you have to apply this accesslist to an interface (serial 0/0 in this case):
serial 0/0
ip access-group 101 in
