Re: Help me become pingable..
said by Zeating  :Is there anything there i should do? 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. |

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

A couple threads about gaming mode.
»What is Gaming mode on Dlink WBR-2310 router?
»Gaming Mode - Why does Dlink recommend disabling?
You might want to see if your connection is tweakable

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? |

Although I am not a gamer, a ninja ( fourboxers ) told me that blocking pings doesn't affect online gaming.
I found this that might help:

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. |

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

| 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:
