Version 10.3
• On the McAfee SecurityCenter pane, click Internet & Network, then click Configure.
• On the Internet & Network Configuration pane, under Firewall protection is enabled, click Advanced.
• On the Security Level pane, under Security Settings, select Allow ICMP ping requests to allow detection of your computer on the network using ping requests.
If the firewall is set to Stealth security level, and you try to ping the computer from another computer in your network, the ping will fail. Both IPv4 and IPv6 block ICMP traffic when the firewall is set to Stealth mode, even if Allow ICMP Pings is enabled. ICMP requests are ignored as a way of protecting your computer on the network by keeping it hidden.
To allow a computer to respond to ICMP pings you must lower the security settings. Raise the security level once testing is complete.
