Hello,


For some reason, BD has started blocking incoming ICMP / ping requestson my Windows 7 PC from other machines on my Home LAN.


I have checked Settings ->Firewall -> General Rules ->Incoming ICMPv4 / ICMPv6 is set to Allow.


I have also checked that Firewall -> Manage Adapters -> Network Type is set to Home/Office.


I can ping other machines on my Home LAN from the PC.


I don't know if this is relevant, but I have recently configured this PC as an OpenVPN client to access a remote VPN server.


I confirm that the VPN session is disconnected before trying to ping the machine from the other device.

    I think I found it.


    My network was configured as "Public" instead of as "Home network" in the "Network and Sharing Centre" page.

    @jimmyghd it sounds like polomora resolved the issue through Bitdefender's network adapter settings, as those are all Bitdefender Firewall/Manage adapter settings mentioned. Upon install of Bitdefender Internet Security and Total Security, Windows Firewall is automatically disabled (I always check, just to be sure ^_^) and thus it would not come into play. Just a FYI :)
