Ping works by sending an ICMP "Echo" data packet to the
specified host, and waiting for its ICMP "Echo Reply" data
packet (which, if successful, should be exactly the same as
the data sent in the original Echo packet). Many system
Yes, I am aware of this.
adminstrators filter this type of packet on their firewalls,
though, as ICMP ping requests can be used by malicious users to
cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on an otherwise-functional
system. That's probably what you're seeing.
