DSLReports can't ping me!

I have a Dl-615 router and the settings were already properly configured:




I checked Zone Alarm Pro and correctly configured the settings:




What settings am I missing? I wanted to do a line test, when I found out I wasn't pingable.

Edit: I have five computers here; four of them have software firewalls and the other has zero security software.

Check the Windows Firewall, it may be blocking pings without you knowing about it.

Because your router is the one that should be responding to the pings, firewalls in your computers don't matter.

Which modem do you have?

If the modem is blocking the ping the router cannot respond to the ping.

If you put the modem in bridge mode that will make the router pingable.

This is very strange the motorola blocks pings and lets everything else pass??

Are you saying the modem is stopping the pings and not the router? I have no idea what "bridge mode" means. Well, I have heard the term, but don't know how to set it up.

Yes I think the modem is dropping/discarding the icmp ping and the pings are never allowed to reach the router

That is very strange! There are no settings on the modem to allow pings, so now what?

Hey Marti,

How do you have the modem and router's WAN type configured?

Modem: I have not changed a thing.

DSL UP
Connection UP
User ID
Connected at 3008 Kbps (Downstream)

IP Address 70.241.102.54
IP Gateway 70.241.111.254
DNS Servers 68.94.156.1 dnsr1.sbcglobal.net
68.94.157.1 dnsr2.sbcglobal.net
Mode PPP on the modem (Private IP for LAN device)
Timeout 20 minutes
Modem Information
Modem Name Motorola
Model 2210-02
Serial Number 34474088
Software Version 7.7.3r5
MAC Address 00:1d:6b:0e:08:68
First Use Date 2008/02/04 15:55:52 GMT
Local Network
Modem IP Address
Ethernet Status Connected

Not sure what router settings you want, but the only thing I changed recently was these (to try to solve my loss of connectivity problem).

Primary DNS Server : 68.94.156.1

Secondary DNS Server : 68.94.157.1

I would guess that the rest of it is probably the default settings.

It looks like you have the router's WAN connection type set to Dynamic IP(DHCP).

If you look at you router's GUI,under the Setup Tab,and click on Manual Internet Connection Setup,it should say.

Edit: Status Tab shows WAN and LAN IP addresses

You are going to need to make your modem bridge the DSL connection to your router instead of nating it, Then set your router to login to the pppoe. I'm not sure how to on that modem but hopefully someone here knows.

Try configuring the WAN type to Static IP.

She needs to change that to Bridge (like the Pic) and setup his d-link router for a WAN connection type of PPPoE with his DSL Username and Pass.

Edit: He -> She

At this point, I am not sure what to do, as I seem to be getting too much advise! It's getting to close to 11:00 PM here, and I'm not going to start messing with settings this late at night. I will start working on this again tomorrow.

thanks for all the inputs
