There is no difference between the ICMP packets generated from WhatsUp Gold
v7.04 with a right-click ping and a normal monitor ping.

Now, many networks have implemented ICMP filtering this year based on packet
size.  This is intended to block the nachi/welchia worm.  The filter would
catch the ICMP packets used by WhatsUp Gold to monitor devices.

Are you being affected by such a filter?  Try using Nettools and play with
the packet size.  See whether small packets get through and large ones
don't.

If this is the case then you would want to upgrade to v8.03.  This has a
smaller default ICMP size and a registry setting that allows that size to be
configured.

I have Whatsup Gold 7.04 running on WinXP I have several devices I monitor SMTP, POP, HTTP, ColdFusion with no problems. I can't ping any device. If I right click the device and click ping it pings the device no problem. If I set a monitor to ping or echo service it does not work. What am I doing wring?

Thanks

Brian
