Wishnet-Broadband - Ping-ing ip address (static) times out

[Priyabrata Chakraverti]

I am using wishnet broadband service.
I've good speeds and everything is working fine.

I've two virtual servers - a windows based web-server and another a linux (fedora) server.

I've setup port forwarding, and when I am accessing my windows based server from internet (provided by any provider other than wishnet, I am going straight through. But when ever my friend tries to connect (he is also on wishnet) the connection times out.

To see what is going on, we did a ping test of my ip from his lappy and the connection always times out and results in 100% loss of data.

What is going wrong and how can this be fixed ?

ping is not forwarded, it is answered by router itself. try telnet on the port you have forwarded, if you get a blank screen then its reachable, but if you get an error then the forwarding isnt working.
As an alternative, you can set your pc as a DMZ and then try ping from your friend's pc.
