Troubleshooting ICMP Ping on Windows 7
I’ve encountered a very strange problem this morning that ping simply won’t work no matter what even after enabling the ICMP Ping on Windows 7 Ultimate firewall. Turn on the firewall log shows ICMP is being dropped, what? I did enable it in Windows Firewall, restart the VM with nothing changed.
After a close inspection, I found out why, by default Windows 7 Remote IP Address under Scope is set to Local Subnet only, no wonder, after change it to Any IP Address, life is back to normal!
