Cannot ping my Telus T3200M modem/router from outside.
Hello,
I am on Telus PureFiber. I can't seem to be able to ping he public IP address it is under. I played around with various settings in the router's admin page with no luck. There is no third party router connected and I am currently connected wireless to the Telus router. Lets assume I id a factory reset on the T34200M, which setting(s) would need to be hanged in order for the ping to work?
AFAIK, you can’t ping your public IP from inside it.

ok, so it looks like I cannot ping my Telus router's public IP address after all. Weird hat people outside of my Telus router's network can.

Thanks for confirming. Don't know the reasoning behind that restriction. We should be allowed to ping ourselves. The T3200M must have some serious issues with loopback I guess. I guess this is the reason why we cannot access our web server by using the public IP address from within our Telus router's network also. Some DNS tweaks did the trick for now, but what in the world...
meh..it works now. And I'm not even sure what changed.
