    Is it your system and LnS that is being tested?
    Did the GRC scan show in your LnS logs?
    Are you behind a router?

    I take it the screenshot is of your router configuration.
    This being the case, the router is what is being tested by the online scans as it will deal with all unsolicited traffic, not the firewall running on PC.

    From the screen shot you have provided enable:
    Under DoS Protection
    - ICMP Redirection checking. Check the help file, if this is for blocking ICMP redirects, enable it.
    Under Service Filtering
    - Ping from External Network. Enable and this should block the pings/echo requests.

    Try the test again and see if your router is still responding to pings.

    Regards,
