    how to make my IP address pingable

    I can't ping my IP address from other locations. traceroutes also can't ping my IP address. How can I make myself pingable? I'm running windows xp pro. I'm connected through comcast hsi with a motorola sb5100. I'm not going through a router. I have two firewalls running, but this has been happening before I installed the firewalls.

    What are the first two octets of your IP address?

    You probably have the native XP firewall running. Look in the properties for your LAN connection and then in the properties of TCP/IP there.

    I'm curious as to why someone running 2 (and possibly three) firewalls would suddenly want to have his IP address jump up and say Hi!
