    Im on esat bt business broadband, however, I have a slight problem.

    I can't seem to ping an ip but I can still connect to the site.

    It's the same for traceroute it just doesn't work. It's getting a little anooying at this stage.

    Just to let you good folks know, I'm not behind a firewall either.

    the site might be blocking your pings, and traceroutes..
    They obviously dont want you poking at them..

    why would you need to ping the site??

    Esat were/are known to filter ICMP.

    However it could well be the site you are pinging and not esat.

    No, not a site that was an example. It's got to do with a counter-strike server(S)

    Yeah but did'ent it just filter ping requests to Business IP's rather then requests from Business IP's/Lines to other servers?

    Have you set your modem to allow ICMP packets into your network ?
