Is it possible to disable Ping reply on Windows Vista Home Basic or its
Windows Firewall? The setting is recommended by GRC's ShieldsUP making my PC
invisible on the Internet.

Ipsec is on Vista but I don't know about Home Basic.

If you want the machine to be invisable to the the Internet with all inbound
unsolicited traffic block to the machine by default, then put the machine
behind a NAT router.

By default, "Ping reply" is disabled.
By default, with Windows Vista firewall all computers are invisible on the
Internet
