I have server with CentOS 6.2 installed. The problem is that i can browse the website on it, but i can't ping it.

What can cause this?

  • There is some desktop application which is integrated to the website and integration stopped working after this.

Firewall rules are in place somewhere between you and the server that are blocking ICMP echo requests and/or replies.

  • The iptables on the server are empty. I have even turned of firewall, but it did not help. I've tried to iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT but it didn't help either. And i can ping other sites from my computer. I'll try to check router configuration on server side.
