blocking an ICMP Ping
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential
victims on the Internet . By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a
response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of
interest might be there . The Router can be set up so it will not respond
to an ICMP ping from the outside . This heightens your Router’s security
level .
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping”
(1)
and click
“Apply Changes” . The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping .
