Here is the list of steps to need to follow to enable Ping in a Windows machine:
- Go to Start
- Open a command prompt
- Type in the following: netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 enable
Test it out, the server should be pingable now!
- To disable it again, you give in this command: netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 disable
OR
You can enable ping in windows server 2008 by the following method also:
Go to Start >> Administrative Tools >> Windows Firewall with Advanced Security >> Scroll down to “File And Print Sharing (Echo Request – ICMPv4-IN)” (or v6 if you are using ipv6) >> Enable this rule.
