Hi,

I´m using the TIdIcmpClient component and Delphi 6. I´ve problems with
pinging hosts with this component. My test application works fine with
Windows XP but with Windows Vista I always get timeouts. The problem
seems to be the windows firewall. I deactivated the windows firewall and
everythink works fine. Now I added a new rule for my application (In the
Advanced Firewall Configuration) to except the incoming ICMP Packets.
But if I use the application filename nothing works. It only works if I
except every program for icmp. But I don´t want do this.

Is it possible do to a simple ping with the indy components without
changing my firewall settings. In my windows console I can ping every
host, but not with Indy.

Any Ideas?

Best regards

Rainer
