Oye it does yaar... at any rate you can use the troubleshooting util...But I can ping it normally !?
 
Well, I have never been able to ping anything beyond my gateway heh. The gateway doesn't let the pings p@$$.Yeah, Sify's utility p@$$es through but it doesn't give us the ping time, just whether the computer is online or not. And even it's so sh*tty that sometimes when I'm able to ping my IP and my gateway using the ping command , it tells me that the connection to them has failed using its own methods.
 
Okay if ya want to test ping times just remove ur sify client , restart and then ping, now u should able to ping it.
 
That wouldn't do anything. Sify itself blocks all pings at some level, in my case at the gateway level. So we can't ping any internet servers while we are online using Sify. Killing the client and restarting will just keep us logged on while getting rid of a useless client.

Have you deleted the file HBSBeat.exe? If you don't want to delete this Sify file just rename it or block it from accessing the net through your firewall. [snapback]2706[/snapback]

That HeartBeat Funtion (HSbeat.exe) is jus an eye wash, it never worked well so they terminated it in the beginin itself. they r back to their routine thingy, that is kick off a user if hez inactive for over 15 minutes (even that doesn work they wat it shud). So in all, they have just left certain things open as an option to bug users.
I still dont get it, y the eff they have to kick off a user who has an unlimited pack ?
Y they need to keep remindin users that they r STILL using Sify...ggrrrr.......
Life wud have been so good if there wasnt ne log off like thing in case of unlimited packs.
 
i need access to pings and tracert to external IPs. none of the sify customer care guys respond to my mails any longer.
 

Stop pullin ur hairs (not of ur head silly :P )Its of no use, they rarely turn on this special facility wich we call PING.Most of the time its off.May be the admin thinks, ping means hacking , lolz.
 
well pings banning actually was useful with a particular worm which appeared a couple of months ago. but to keep it banned even now is absolutely stupid.
 
Its been over 8 months now, n i have only faded memories that ping worked once in a while over these 8 months.Beside that, if its related to some virus/worm, i'll suggest Sify to use SifySecure on their servers as well :DHowz that for Virus security ;)

Heartbeat thing is active on quite a few users' connections ;). I have seen two customers on the same LAN as me getting asked by Zone Alarm that should HBSBeat.exe be allowed to connect right when they log onto Sify. It's been disabled in my case though from Sify's end and my HBSBeat.exe doesn't connect to Sify anymore.
