Re: Router issues with icmp?
works fine from here:

Code:
Tracing route to newswww.bbc.net.uk [212.58.226.20]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  efw-1209668945.localdomain [192.168.200
  2     9 ms     6 ms     6 ms  10.225.80.1
  3     8 ms     7 ms     7 ms  nott-t2cam1-a-v107.inet.ntl.com [81.109

  4    11 ms     7 ms     7 ms  nott-t3core-1a-ge-013-0.inet.ntl.com [1

ping works on icmp echo requests, so that, and the fact my tracert works suggests that't not the problem.

ICMP does have lower prority than TCP/UDP traffic though, so the router could be dropping the ICMP packets if it's "a bit busy".
