ICMP echo ??????

Hello there.
I have done a shields up test on my comodo fire wall and I get a fail message - Your system REPLIED to our Ping (ICMP Echo) requests, making it visible on the Internet. Most personal firewalls can be configured to block, drop, and ignore such ping requests in order to better hide systems from hackers.

Can any one tell me why or how to configure comodo to stop this. ?
thanks for any help

rgds,

dan

If you are behind a router that is what will be “ping” tested.

But if one stealths all ports will work the same? At least, I always get 100% passed score.

That’s right…I too was failing the ping test until I disabled ping response in my router settings.
