I recommend not selecting ICMP in your properties. These setting will
engage implied rules, which are a) easy to overlook, and b) hard to
control.

I always configure ICMP rules as follows:
Int-Net    Any         echo-request     accept
Any        Int-Net     dest-unreach     accept
                       time-exceeded    
                       echo-reply      

That allows you to ping/tracert out and receive responses in, but it
blocks incoming ICMP requests.

Regards,
Frank
