I am hosting a server, there is no problem connecting to the server for the hosting web site, but I just couldn't ping in to this server. What is the services that are blocking the server from being able to ping through? Any pointer from anyone? Please help!

Hi,

I'm not too sure if the firewall is blocking, but I could not go to my firewall, each time I try, it say think like "ipnat.sys" kind of messages.

on routers in the path. ping needs to talk in both directions. I have seen situations in which it could not get the reply back due to misconfigured gateway settings.
but that is pretty far fetched. it is usually a security setting or firewall. what is your server os and patch level?

Hi,
My OS is Windows server 2003 Enterprise Edition. Regarding patch I am not too sure, I had a comm server which communication with some comm devices in the field and I am able to get the data from it. Just till now, there is no way I can ping to it.
