| No Ping with ZAP 4.5.594.000 Any Ideas????
1d1h : 2004-04-17 11:32:00 : From fatness block ... delete-this ... keep-this
Hi, I got your feedback question.
"feedback text:
I am running ZAP as my firewall. I went to your FAQ on becoming pingable, and followed the instructions exactly, but I am still unpingable. What can I do so that I can get pinged from DSLR without shutting ZAP down completely? Thank you."
I suggest posting it in the Site Tools forum:

I sent the above problem to the author of the FAQ for becoming pingable, and he suggested I post here.
Thanks in advance to everyone for your help.

Some ISPs have been blocking ICMP ports 8 and 0 making you unpingable. Can you be pinged if you shut down ZAP?
Do you have a router? |

Lowering your Internet Security to Medium during any test on this site should allow you to become pingable with any ZoneLabs firewall. If that isn't working then of course there is something needing troubleshot. Do you have a router in the mix?

If all you have blocking ping is the firewall, then you can add the BBR servers to your trusted zone, and leave that slider setting at medium, and leave the Internet Zone on High.
It works.;)
Add 209.191.132.40 east coast server
Add 216.200.176.6 west coast server

Chatham, IL | Since you have a router in play as well. Then you would also need to be sure the router is set to alow you to be pinged. There should be a setting with the web interface for this. If you don't mind which model router? |

Find the setup page in your router menu that will allow you to choose Block WAN Request: and disable it.
Run the ping tests you want, then when you're finished, re- enable Block WAN Request.
