 [Line Problem] Line quality test

I take it that this is a bad test result:

»/linequality/nil/2554683

What does "target IP does not respond to ICMP ping" mean?

Thanks!

Your router or computer is not answering the ping request

I see. Could that be because of a line issue?? AT&T says the line tested OK, but I think otherwise. Really LONG history of line problems.

Not a line issue
If you're using a router it can be set to ignore pings
If you're using a computer its firewall can be set to ignore pings

Checked, and firewall is not turned on, and there is no router setting for ping.

I ran another LQ test this morning, and it ran just fine...

OOPS - here are test result from yesterday:
