Enable ping through the firewall of Vista or Windows 7

25/09/2009 16:09

I built a Windows 7 Virtual Machine and needed to test pings to it however it would not respond due to it being blocked.

This solved the issue as an administrator:

netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 enable

and this to disable again:

netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 disable

This came from the following site:
