Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - External ping not working, internal ping is

Not sure if this is the right place for this...

I am setting up a server (2003, not SB) with an external IP address. Everything is configured correctly on my firewall as the settings are cloned from another server that does work and I am able to ping the address, but only from inside my network. When I try to do it from outside of the firewall, my ping is timed out.

There are two NIC cards on this server, both of which are connected to the same switch (which is then connected to the firewall). I tried switching the configuration, thinking its a bad NIC card, but it does not work on either card.

I have also tried disabling the firewall on the server and disabling AV software.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
