Windows Firewall and XVM Ping

Recommended Posts

I set my Firewall to only allow outgoing connections when I define a rule.

Since then the ping in XVM doesn't work anymore.

 

What program do I need to allow access? WOT and it's updater etc are allowed and WOT displays a ping.

 

Already allowed Ping.exe but this didn't change anything

WOT has already both of it's Firewall rules if you install it. But XVM seems to use it's own method to ping

I assumed that already and checked it but that one has all rights to access Internet (already when installing WOT a rule is automatically set).

But I double checked it has full Internet access at any ports and protocols.

 

Anyway the ping displayed at the WOT login screen works while the XVM on the same screen doesn't. So ther must be some difference.

 

As soon as I disable Windows Firewall blocking outgoing traffic it works. But as said the wot exe has rightss to fully access the internet.

 

See screenshot:

Because it uses TCP, not ICMP.

But the automatically installed rule of WOT allows ALL protocols ?!? So ICMP should work as well. 

I don't really understand that.....

 

EDIT:

 

I now added a manual rule allowing all ICMPV4 and V6 on all ports tor the exe but same result no ping available.

So it must be another reason. Sure there's no other exe or something used?

 

Also tried all other exe in the WOT folder and subfolders no other result.

 

Is it maybe using svchost or something?

 

EDIT:

 

Doesn't work either if I allow svchost

Just noticed also the Ping.exe didnt work even I allowed it.

 

Then found for some mysterious reason the firewall recognizes not the exe that pings.

 

So you can either allow that ICMP traffic for ANY program to make it work OR you can allow it for specific programs and write "System" in the program path.

 

Microsoft again.....

 

Thanks anyway!
