For the ping
command, I have read (e.g. try this link), there's no port required. Yet I have a PC on my network which I cannot ping. Strangely, I can connect to using Remote Desktop
.
However, I am able to ping it (as well as connect to it with RDP
) when I turn off the firewall. How should I configure the firewall so that I can ping the machine even with the firewall on? I tried looking it up (the ping
command i.e.) in the list of firewall exceptions but I couldn't find it.
ping.exe
from thesystem32
folder but that process is on the machine. I want the firewall to allow access to the said PC when I am trying to ping it from the outside.
