Re: Help me become pingable..
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:

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

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. |
