Title: BT Home Hub and ICMP Pings
Post by: .Griff. on Jan 05, 2011, 13:22:25
I'm trying to help out a neighbour of mine who is a BT Infinity customer and who wants to setup a Thinkbroadband Quality Monitor - http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/monitors.html

In order to do this the router needs to respond to incoming ICMP ping requests which isn't normally an issue, certainly not on many routers I've used before, but I cannot see any obvious way of setting this up on his Home Hub.

So in short is this even possible and if so how would  I go about it?

If no-one here can help, Griff, a post on TB would probably get you an answer.

Since the Home Hub won't work with any other ISP than BT, not many people have experience of them.

It is hackable, but needs some soldering to flash it. If I still have the link on my PC at home, I'll post it.

No idea about the original question though.
