Re: DSLReports can't ping me!
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?? |

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

Universe | Hey Marti,
How do you have the modem and router's WAN type configured? |

I've noticed that some routers even when placed in bridge mode may retain some firewall settings if not disabled beforehand. |
