ICMP and Windows Vista Firewall
Hi Lionel
I have already looked in the advanced security and I can not find the rules for ICMP or how to create one. Vista's help is no good as that said it is on the advanced tab on the normal view. However a comment there says it has moved to advanced security. SuperPlay |

... I have already looked in the advanced security and I can not find the rules for ICMP or how to create one. Look more closely: Core Networking - Destination Unreachable Fragmentation Needed (ICMPv4-In) File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In) Core Networking - Packet Too Big (ICMPv6-Out) .... You can also create new ICMP rules with the New Rule wizard (use Custom rule). If you prefer an alternative interface, it is also possible to control the Vista firewall from the command line, with netsh advfirewall firewall, or to call the COM API directly from PowerShell. |

ICMP and Windows Vista Firewall
Hi Lionel Thanks for this, I must be gettign too old to see clearly ;-) I was expecting ICMP to be under core networking and as you say IP4 echo request is under File and Printer Sharing |

I also wish to disable ping but am unable to. I tried enabling the 'File and
Printer Sharing (Echo Request - xxx)' rules etc and changing the setting to 'Block the connections'. So how do we disable ping? Rob.
