Enabling ping on BT Smart Hub

I have hunted through the menus to try and find a way to enable ping on my HH6A. I have even turned the firewall off in an attempt to make it work, but no joy. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

As with previous Home Hub devices do not believe you can

Well, seems disabling the firewall and re- enabling it has allowed the monitor to work

Interesting.

I wonder which device on your network is actually replying.

I wonder if it is the webcam as I have port forwarded for it?

Well, my answer is obviously wrong. The router stopped responding at 10pm last night and hasn't worked since!

I disabled the firewall and enabled it again and it is again working. Confused!!!!

I have been reading on Google that if I add an item that is connected to the router to the DMZ, it should respond to the pings. At the moment, I have put all the items on my network into the DMZ one by one, but can't find one that will respond.

I realise the home hub isn't supported, but there must be a work around somewhere?

Out of the frying pan and into the fryer springs to mind here

Maybe this is why they don't want ping enabled!!!

I have a Now TV box in the DMZ for my router and it quite happily responds to pings!

Thanks for that, I shall have a look and see if I can get a cheap 2nd hand one on eBay. I have tried my TV, blu ray, webcam, desktop pc, samknows box and nothing. Something however is responding judging by my terrible chart
