Help me become pingable..

I'm using DSL and i want to do the line quality test because I'm having some problems, such as lag in some games and various other things. I tried turning off my firewall, and no luck. I'm using a router. But even without the router i'm still not pingable. This is my speedtest results:

Are you running the Windows firewall also by any chance? Do you know if your ISP blocks pings?

What router and modem are you using?

Have you tried calling your ISP to see if they block pings?

Re: Help me become pingable..

If an ISP blocks pings is that bad for online gaming, or does it matter?
I have a speedstream 4200 ohio modem with a D-Link WBR-2310 router.

Re: Help me become pingable..

Although I am not a gamer, a ninja ( fourboxers See Profile) told me that blocking pings doesn't affect online gaming.

I found this that might help:

Re: Help me become pingable..

Seeing that I am not a gamer and have never used a DLink router, I'm going to let someone else answer that for you.

A little late but Welcome to the site.

Have you tried asking your ISP if they are blocking pings?

Let us know what they say. I've run across 1 ISP that doesn't accept pings but I can't remember which one.

It looks like your router is set to respond to WAN pings. If you are not getting a response to the line quality test request, it could be ISP-blocked pings. Best way to find out is to ask someone to ping your current address.

You are on DSL. Whose? I know that Verizon does not block pings.

IM me with your WAN IP, I'll try.
