Hey, you should be able to configure your existing router to allow ping requests to come through.

To do this you need to forward UDP traffic on port 10999.

Long form answer:

To find your systems internal ip address, open a command window (cmd) and type ipconfig. It will return something like this:
[CODE]Windows IP Configuration


Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : office.kleientertainment.com
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : -----------------------
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.XX.XX <--- You want this one[/CODE]

Next, go to your router configuration page. (Try googling the model of your router to find this page / the credentials required to access it). Look for a tab that says port forwarding. And forward UDP traffic on port 10999 to your internal ip (192.168. something ).
Since so many servers cannot be pinged, we will likely come up with a better solution in the not-so-distant future.
