I've just installed proxy server 2.0 on a 1000 node network with only a Wan Router.
I only have internal addresses on the lat and my external nic does not have an internal address. My question is why can't I ping the gateway address from the proxy server? The external nic is the only card that has a gateway address.

Can you ping the IP address of the external address of the Proxy Server?
Do you have any kind of packet filtering enabled?
Is the router configured in such a way that it does enable you to ping?

Apart from being able to ping can you browse the internet?

I can ping the external network card. I cannot browse the internet. Ido have packet filtering enabled.

Hi

You have to open for ping on the Proxy server.
you do that in Web Proxy service > service > security > Packet Filter tab, and if not listet you press the add button.
Custom filter > fixed port > PING. Remote port > fixed port > ECHO
And again:
Custom filter > fixed port > PING. Remote port > fixed port > RESPONSE
for both use the ICMP protocol.

This should do the job

You may find PING will not work with NAT!
You are better of firing a HTTP session at the firewall(proxy server) if your testing the function aspect of it.
