DSPs blocking PING??

elzalem

Was on the phone with IDM, the tech support told me that Ogero (as a DSP not ISP) blocks all pings. meaning i can't even ping google.com!
any one else having this problem??

i wanted to ping some servers to test their latency and decide which VPS provider to buy from :S it sucks!

Raficoo

well.. Don't know about your Case, but as an Ogero User i can still Ping anything normally :/

elchebib

Me too. As an IDM user, I'm pinging normally......

Never listen to tech support.

Unless ogero only blocks pings for other ISPs...? But it doesnt seem to be the case.

elzalem

well i can tell it's only me, since my neighbor who has ogero adsl can ping.
just spoke with another tech support guy, he told me that they have an icmp limitation (why? don't ask) and that they have sent a request to allow me to ping :S

thanks guys for ping testing and your replies!

you pinged too much last month lol

I'm having similar issues with terranet, some ICMP packets are being dropped, but not all. Here's my thread about it: http://www.lebgeeks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=6704

As Nuclearcat suggested, try using MTR to see where the packet is being dropped.

I have IDM and I can ping normally, but my cousins have also IDM cant ping almost anything even idm.net.lb

elzalem

@samer I'm not being able to ping my modem's gateway, from the modem itself.

I'm just going to wait until they call me back.

i tried pingtest.net as a rough test, i got 500ms latency so i guess it's not reliable

nuclearcat

pingtest does ping over http

elzalem

@nuclearcat it's surely not icmp! i don't think it's http, they could be opening a socket and measuring.

PS: they won't open icmp for everything, they told me to send them the IPs i want to ping to allow them to pass. should i send 0.0.0.0 ? :P

nuclearcat

0.0.0.0/0 is correct
I think this behavior is matter of first proper court.
Even in unlawful Russia ISP's can't block any protocol or port on customer communications without informing customer.

Hi geeks, i am having the same issue with terranet. Today the speed was very bad since morning, i tried pinging via pingtest i got error messages, tried pinging using Run, it timed out on everything, However, now i am able to ping via pingtest, weird.

amkahal

ping on terra.net.lb is blocked in normal state, try to ping another site.

babum

an interesting thing is that from Venezuela, I cant ping terranet nor www.google.com , but when i ping the google's Ip address you provided it lets me and shows results.
