Allow ping in Windows Vista & Windows 7

The ICMP echo request (ping) is blocked in the Windows Firewall in Windows Vista and Windows 7 by default. The quickest way to add end exception is to run netsh.exe from command propmpt rather than clicking your way through wf.msc

Open up command prompt (cmd.exe) in Administrator mode and type in the following command:
> netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 enable

That's it, your box should be pingabble from now on.
