What affect would blocking icmp packets on all vlans have on win2k/xp client logons in a win2k forest?
any?
I know clients ping dc's to see which responds first and later ping dc's to determine round trip time for GPO processing, but would blocking icmp's have any adverse affects on clients?
I only ask because my corp blocks icmp's on all our vlans and i get a lot of event id 1000 from Usernev with error code of 59 which when i looked up, refers to network connectivity issues. i think this event id is related to the fact we block icmp packets and i was wondering if thats something i should worry about in a win2k network.
Thanks
