Networking → can't ping my WAN address

As title, any ideas?
I have a WebRamp 700s + MR314 Router.

Two ideas:

1 - you don't have ping enabled in the router

2 - your ISP disabled ping for its IP address ranges to cut the crap from the worm outbreaks these past few months (my ISP did this).

My router is ping enabled, but I can ping my local host(127.0.0.1).
What is this? What does local host mean? I can't ping my WAN because of my local host?

localhost is your loopback IP on your machine. Everyone has 127.0.0.1. If you can't ping localhost your NIC is either installed wrong or defective. localhost is not interfering with WAN ping.

localhost is on the LAN side of the router. Your WAN IP is assigned by your ISP. They may have disabled ping for their IP address ranges.

Try using an external source like »www.network-tools.com/ to ping and trace your WAN IP. It may be that your router doesn't enable loopback so you can not reach your WAN IP from the LAN side. Same problem some have when setting up a web server - they can not use the domain name to access the web page unless some other changes are made.
