Network Problem !?

Locked

My local area network is working properly. I has been using a router to support my LAN to connect to the Internet. But I found that everytime I ping the external IP (public) or ping by the domain name, I get the ‘requested time out’ message, but I still can access to any of those website or by the domain name or IP without any problem, is there anything wrong with my network configuration !?

Are you NATing behind the router and are you running any firewalls? If you having it running in stealth mode then the router won’t return ping replys.

Ever heard about

filters? I think you have ICMP filtered – that means ping is not possible to use. You can check a tracert – this should work.
