Re: Help me become pingable..

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

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

I have a speedstream 4200 ohio modem with a D-Link WBR-2310 router.

 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:

1 edit		 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?

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

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.
