If you're using a VMNG300 and not attaching your PC through a router and if you don't have a software firewall on your PC, then you you will be unable to allow ICMP through.

There are no user controlled settings on the VMNG300 of which I am aware that allow ICMP to be set to permitted.

If you have a router attached to the VMNG300, you'd set ICMP allow in the firewall or some setting there.

If you don't have a router attached and you have a software firewall (e.g. McAfee) then you can set that to pass ICMP. I've never tried this because I've always had a router attached. if it does work, it'll stop working when you turn your PC off.
