[BC] Is Shaw blocking ICMP pings now?

Subject says it all. I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with a leased server I have and the host wants pings and traceroutes from the server to my home PC.

My router (and also my friend's) are not responding to pings even though both of us don't have that protocol blocked in our router's configuration.

Shaw isn't blocking it.

You haven't set it to block icmp, but have you set it to allow? Many routers don't allow themselves to be icmp endpoints now.

I'll check the router conf pages again and see if I can enable it. Thanks.
