Re: Cannot acknowledge ping request

It sounds like a domain level Group Policy may be implementing the firewall
settings - not local Group Policy. Try running rsop.msc on it to check to
see if those settings are configured via Group Policy and what GPO is
applying the settings. It is also possible that the registry had been
modified without the use of Group Policy. The link below explains what
registry settings to check if you are sure that no Group Policy is applying
the settings. --- Steve

The registry keys to add to disable Windows Firewall for both the domain and
standard profiles are the following:

. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall
\DomainProfile \EnableFirewall=0 (DWORD data type)

. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall
\StandardProfile \EnableFirewall=0 (DWORD data type)
