Ping Requests

[Jaime Rodríguez]

Hello dear all,

Is there a way to block or close my PC from Ping requests from the
Internet?? Im not running any kind of Firewall, Win2000 with SP4 in a LAN
enviroment. Could this be done thru registry perhaps?? any way i could
perform this task without installing any Firewall??

Thanks in advance,

JR.

You could install a router between your PC and the Internet.

Read the router documentation as to it's features and settings

What is your router brand and model ?
You can find its manual for blocking ping requests, refer to access lists,
advanced settings, security or icmp sections in it.

Thanks,
My router model is Cisco Soho series 97. I will refer to its documentation
in order to do this.
