Any WOL Home DSL User
AoA All,
I just recently got WOL Home DSL connection, and i discovered that they've blocked the ping port from server side. So all the nice portscanners and ipscanners are pretty useless coz they depend on ping.
Do any one of you know a workaround? and do all the isps block ping port normally?

Dear Divine,
Yup all icmp echo requests with the destination of our own servers will be dropped. however, you can ping the servers who can allow. such as www.yahoo.com
btw, why you need to ping WOL servers?

btw, do u know that icmp packets are dropped at our firewallDivineLight wrote:Plz don't ask me why I want to Ping?
tell me why I can't,
Coz it's not only ping, there are a couple of other things, like YouTubeGrabber, it doesn't works also.
and your gateway is redback (Broadband RAS).
so the scenario of yours is
YOUR COMP --------> Exchange (DSLAM) ----------> ATM SWITCH -------------> BRAS ---------> Local WOL Servers ----------> Firewall -------> Routers ----------Internet
so you can see icmp drops at firewall to block ping from outer part of our network...you are on the same subnet and a part of wol network. .... you can ping coz your scenario is behind our firewall and direct access to our servers....however, ACLs are also implemented on all servers to prevent un-authorized access.

Divine,
i dont know about your knowledge neither m trying to challenge your experience...but brother, newbies thinks that ping increase speed of the connection....if this is what u think, then m sorry it is wrong...
ping is just to ask server is it alive? and server respond, yes i am...if there is silence from the server, the utility show you time out....
btw, you can ping our dns servers just to check wether your connection to host is stable or not....

blocking all icmp packets is a bad idea. things like icmp destination (or port) unreachable, source quench, ttl exceeded (needed for traceroute) are all very useful to have.
and, there are lots of networks out there with more bandwidth than your isp that don't block pings. consider that for a moment, and ask yourself why you need to block pings.
