Ping not working

[JohnAaronRose]

When i try to ping my ip address as shown as shown in the 'Internet Connectivity' admin web page all packets get lost. Why is that?

[KeithFrench]

I have just proved that whilst NAT Loopback might have an impact if the firewall allowed PINGs, it is the firewall that is blocking this in the first instance.

The private IP addresses are the ones on the device side of the router (default of the 192.168.1.0 network). You can't ping the router's WAN IP address because of two reasons:-

1. Incoming PING requests are not normally allowed by the firewall, for your privacy.
2. NAT loopback blocks any packet being sent from the private side of the router, out to the internet & back in, as it is considered a security risk.

I can ping the Gateway (92.30.64.1) but not the Public IP Address ( 92.30.75.195). Not sure what you mean by the private IP address: is it the IP address of the LAN (i.e. 192.168.1.1)?

Do you mean the IP address of your device, the router's private or public one?
