Guest TheGame2705 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted August 26, 2003 I took it down and still says that the target is unpingable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted August 26, 2003 Ahhh yeah probably. They said they were taking precautionary measures against it. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
