Hi,

I would like to know how to block outgoing ping requests so that nobody could ping any other computers from my PC.

Most admins would leave ping open inside the internal network for diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Normally, these would be blocked externally using a Firewall.

 

Hi

Thx for reply, this is what I wanted to know as I couldnt ping any of the website from my friends pc so it looks like his ISP blocked this is it usually done by firewall or system also?

 

Can be done by either a Hardware Firewall or Software Firewall.

 

Thank you once again but I have one more question how to prevent users from installing applications to program files folder via GPO or NTFS premissions are the only solution in this case?

 

don't give them admin rights

 

Hi I didnt and I still was able to install firefox as a user

- and one more thing, I denied access (by NTFS permissions) to the inetpub folder for the specific user and also disable anonymous logon on to the website and when I login in as this user localy I cannot access this folder, so everything looks fine but when I then accessing the website, providing logon details, I can log in and see contents of the website, why is like that?

Thank you in advance
