Is Avast blocking ping?
« on: August 30, 2016, 11:20:31 AM »
Since I have Avast Premier and its firewall, I cannot check ping from CMD and others apps like TCP  optimizer.





How can I solve this problem? How can i set the firewall to allow me pinging?

I find the problem by myself. The program NetLimiter 4 was blocking a Windows System process.



Avast was not blocking anything!

NetLimiter 4 is a trial usage basis, no?  https://www.netlimiter.com/products/nl4

Have AIS and no issues pinging avast.  But then, I do not have NetLimiter either.

I use NetLimiter 4 for blocking and set limits for bandwidth programs while I play online games, but I had a wrong setting that was blocking the ping command on Windows. NetLimiter 4 is still in development, however, is working well in W10.
