Will do when I get in from work as I turned off the PC when I realised it wasn't working still

Thanks.

That shouldn't matter, it's the router that responds to the pings, not the computer (unless you're using IPv6).

Ah, OK.

I've sent a PM to MrSaffron so hopefully he can shed some light .

IP is not pinging, but does respond in a traceroute, but that seems not to be the end of the journey, as it tries to continue and gives host not responding but for the same IP address as previous hop.

Can you confirm it is Openreach FTTC modem to Asus router and the FTTC modem is not a hacked model, i.e. as supplied by openreach. It is possible this is a bug in the Asus PPPoE stack, as someone has reported low throughput on a high spec asus router as in it is handling data twice.

Interesting...

Yes, the modem isn't hacked/unlocked. It's as it was when Openreach installed (plugged it in!) it.

Sorry for bumping up again but is this something my end or your end? If it's my end is there anything I can do to resolve it as I can see people with the router elsewhere not having issues.

Edit:

It seems like I got some kind of response but then 100% PL when running it today. Strange. Any ideas?

It is something you end, alas while I have a RT-n66u I don't have a connection where I can make it public facing to test this properly, might be able to do some thing though

Is it safe to enable Respond Ping Request from WAN? Im just using the monitor now and need to have the option ticked

Yes, it doesn't work if you don't

Thought so, just wondered if there was another way around it rather than having your IP pingable to the world
