Incoming PING through RV042 router?

Create a VPN connection. Yeah I know, an obvious answer but the correct one. You will not be able to forward ICMP traffic from the public interface so that's the solution.

Mike,

Thanks for the reply. No, not so obvious to me about the VPN! :-)

Anyway I was afraid of that response regarding ICMP traffic / PING but I'm dealing with a request to make it happen. I know that doesn't overcome reality most of the time.

A VPN is out of the question.

What if I set up a route from a specific external IP address to a specific internal IP address? Oh! I found a setting that will do exactly that under: "Firewall" ......

Thanks,

Fred
