Allow other environments to ping into Windows Server 2008 R2.

  1. type "control panel" at the start menu
  2. at the control panel click on "System and Security" and then "Windows Firewall" and finally "Advanced settings"
  3. click on "Inbound Rules" at the upper left of the "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" dialog box
  4. at least one of the line items here with a name which starts out with "File and Printer Sharing" needs to be enabled
    • you may enable a rule by right-clicking upon it and picking "Enable Rule"
    • in my case I sorted all of the rules by name and then enabled the first two "File and Printer Sharing" rules which were named "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)" and "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv6-In)"
