Hi Guys Well I have everything ticked that is relevant to ICMP Packets ( Long ago ) ... One small point .. In order to file share, Windows Firewall must be disabled anyway .. So it has been disabled therefore all the points related to WFW are not relevent in my case ( unless of course some things are working in the background ).. I have protection to cover myself but nothing that would stop me being able to Ping M1 and to get a reply..
It is very strange that an operating system would allow you to disable ICMP Packets especially as they are related to network pings .. May be Microsoft thought that on large networks .. Some computers might be vulnerable to unscrupulous employees so they gave you the user an option not to reply to unwanted pings ??? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ronnie sahlberg Sent: 14 October 2006 05:10 To: Community support list for Wireshark Subject: Re: [Wireshark-users] Lost packets can not ping mymachineonmynetwork Why would an operating system allow you to disable ICMP? ICMP has no security issues and IS a vital part of what keeps TCP/IP working properly. Allowing users to configure/disable this is as silly as when clueless firewall admins block all ICMP and then wonder why their users have problem accessing the network and browsing the internet.
