How to Enable PING response on Windows Server

 

On a Windows Server or VPS, in case if the firewall is active, then the server may not respond when you ping its IP address.

If you quickly want to enable ping response, just run following command on command prompt of the server :

netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 enable

That is it.

Your server will now start responding when you ping its IP address.

Please note that after enabling the ping response, the server would slow down a bit.

If you want to disable it again, open the "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" and go to the section of "Inbound Rules / Incoming Rules" and "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)" and click on "Disable Rule" on the right side.

That is it.

Your server will now not respond when you ping its IP address.
