Title: Microsoft Media Player 7

I have worked with WinMedia Player too. In the product documentation, Part 1, in the Managing Windows Media chapter, there states some special configuration for firewalls servers. The ICMP packet appears because of the broadcast configuration settled for WinMedia. Some program of station is configured for broadcast. I hope this can clear up your doubt.

Using a firewall as the default gateway for internal systems, MP seems to require the ability to ping and receive a response from the default gateway. However, if the firewall is configured not to all ICMP echo/reply messages, certain MP features do not operate. Are there any settings in MP that turn off the behavior? I could also see this affecting VRRP configurations where, at present, pining the virtual IP address is not possible.... Regards, --- Gavin
