Vista - how to enable ICMP echo request

04-26-2007

Hi

I am trying to enable ICMP echo request in the Windows Firewall with
Advanced Security. I find the setting in the Core Networking:
Destination Unreachable Fragmentation Needed (ICMPv4-in), however, I
can't seem to be able to customize the setting as it is a predefined rule.

Anyone has idea how I can achieve?

Thanks

why would you need to customize it? you should just need to enable that
exception and get pings to work.

I tried to enable it, however, those options are not available for
change. (only few options in this rule can be changed).
