Why wont my PC respond to ping?
Hi (please read whole question) Recently I have been trying to get an FTP server on PC to work outside of my network. In the many things I have tried I discovered my computer will not respond to ping requests. My PC can successfully ping other PC's inside & outside of the network. I have tried temporarily turning off firewalls of my PC, including my Anti-Virus and Windows Firewall. My modem would be blocking as its firewall, be default, is not switched on, and as I checked it still is that way. I don't know if I can ping myself locally but I know outside of networks it doesn't work please help me Cheers Blonde015 (as on http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-networking/why-wont-my-pc-respond-to-ping/88ba8041-f7f4-413e-9006-d6c6b4474e36)

Maybe your PC is not connected to network properly, probably you could use this ping tool to troubleshoot and ensure your PC is connected to network properly. Once your PC is connected to network properly and there is no firewall blocking on PC, then other PC should be able to ping this PC. Hope this helps.

Hi, It is probably that your Firewall has blocked yourself. Please open your firewall settings and check the Inbound rules, make sure all the ICMPv6-Inrules are enabled.
