Guest TheGame2705 Posted August 26, 2003 Report Posted August 26, 2003 I have WinXP, a cable modem, and I have the XP firewall up. I did select for incoming echo requests to be available however. Any windows settings that could make me unpingable? I've also noticed that I can't access streaming content at 300k when I could before yet according to speed tests, I have better up/down than before.
MrRant Posted August 26, 2003 Report Posted August 26, 2003 Disable the firewall and see what happens. It would be best for you to either use the free Zone Alarm (www.zonelabs.com) or Kerio (www.kerio.com) for a firewall as well.
Guest TheGame2705 Posted August 26, 2003 Report Posted August 26, 2003 I took it down and still says that the target is unpingable.
MrRant Posted August 26, 2003 Report Posted August 26, 2003 It is possible the your ISP has disabled ICMP requests at the router level due to the MSBLAST worm.
Guest TheGame2705 Posted August 26, 2003 Report Posted August 26, 2003 Ahhh yeah probably. They said they were taking precautionary measures against it. Thanks
Guest Razor Roman Posted August 26, 2003 Report Posted August 26, 2003 Ahhh yeah probably. They said they were taking precautionary measures against it. Thanks That sounds about right to me... we've disabled it on our network here, and all the internal pings and ping attempts that Blast is causing still keeps crashing our DHCP server. Tomorrow I get to go around to infected faculty computers and repair them. Fun.
