Pinging my own IP?

I can never ping my own IP. I am now on an external connection and can see my connection is on as I can remotely manage my router. Here is the ping to prove.

Code:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]

C:\Users\Jack>ping xxxxxxxx.ath.cx

Any reason for this? Can you ping your own IP?

Router or firewall told to drop ICMP packets???

Go to Shields up on GRC.COM and do a port scan and that'll tell you if your systems set to drop pings

Re: Pinging my own IP?

You could try to avoid the router/firewall dropping the ICMP packets by using something like nmap with the -P0 switch.
