M$ Software Firewall Foolishness

30th August 2024

a lot of things are stoopid

Where does M$ put the Ping/ICMP echo/reply in the firewall rules? why under File&Printer sharing of course.

Search for and open Windows Firewall.
Select Advanced Settings on the left.
From the left pane of the resulting window, select Inbound Rules.
In the right pane, find the rules titled File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In).
Right-click each rule and choose Enable Rule.
