By default, Sygate Personal Firewall will block inbound Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo-reply message known as PING. For the last week voice in yahoo messenger can not be activated. My sygate firewall log shows that ICMP 38.1.1.1 is being blocked on port 13. 38.1.1.1 is traced backed to OrgName: Performance Systems International Inc. OrgID: PSI Address: 1015 31st St NW City: Washington StateProv: DC PostalCode: 20007 Country: US NetRange: 38.0.0.0 - 38.255.255.255 My isp compamy uses Telus. Signed up with another isp company and this does not happen. No problems in yahoo messenger with the new isp and no ICMP from 38.1.1.1. Would like to stay with the old isp because of emails. Sygate by advanced rule can be configured to allow all icmp traffic but prefer not doing this. Any suggestions would be appreciated and also would like to know why this is happening. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hello, Try GAIM and use your yahoo account to connect. http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ There's really little else I can think of, save advanced rules. Mrk
hi north450, in sygate, open applications, right click on any app, select 'advanced' and you check/uncheck 'allow icmp traffic' for any app. L
tried all those things with the exception of GAIM. last few days voice occasionally worked with yahoo messenger on telus then the same problem. possibly the answers lies here. http://www.telus-quebec.com/telus_en/grandesentreprises/hebergementweb/reporting.jsp?curPage=0# or the bandwidth with telus is no good. Thanks.
