IIRC, the HMC can't respond to a ping unless the permission bit is set for remote access. Can't ping something that is not enabled.

He is unable to PING the HMC. Once in the VPN he can PING the gateway but the HMC doesn't respond to a PING. It shouldn't take much more than connection to the net and an IP address to respond to a PING, shouldn't it?
