problem with windows firewall
i am trying to add a rule to my firewall to block icmp echo aka ping requests. the problem is that the other rules have a green check mark next to them but the one i created has a red circle with a line through it meaning that its either not working or not configured properly. i created the rule by going into new rule then custom then chose all programs then chose protocol type as icmp then chose echo. is there something im missing?

That red circle means that "Inbound connections that do not matcha rule are blocked." Look at the first page of the firewall advanced setting page.
