No Ping/Tracert to W2K Server

[Fred]

Hello -

Hoping for '2 for 2' here - last request answered with a
good fix!

My W2KPro server runs Wingate 'proxy' software so other
nodes on the LAN can access the Inet thru this server
(dialup connection to ISP). Works fine, lasts a long time!

I can *telnet* directly to the server from any local LAN
node, and immediately get the 'WinGate>' prompt.
(Normally don't do that other than just for diagnostics).

BUT, I cannot 'ping' or 'tracert' to this server from any
local LAN node - just get timeouts. Heck, it's usually
the other way around!

I have not (knowingly anyway) restricted ICMP traffic, and
stopping the WinGate engine makes no difference (other
than causing a few squeals in the background about 'I
can't get to the Internet!' Ah, they'll get over it).

What can I check to try to fix this? Not critical, but it
oughta work (quick diags).

Thx in advance for any ideas.

Fred

I assume you're pinging only LAN IPs. Can you ping from Wingate server to
clients?
You should dig in Deerfield FAQs or ask its techsupport.
