[Watford] march?

[Neel Upadhyaya]

If you're using a Redhat variant check the SELinux settings and for any
distro check your local firewall config.
Also it's not uncommon for a broadband router to reject pings as it makes it
harder to determine what equipment is on the other side of the wall.  If you
have the IP address then I could do an nmap and determine what ports are
open.  You  can do this if you have shell access to a box outside your home
network.
