I have an Internet connection and can browse, but I can't ping the google DNS,
ping 8.8.8.8
nor can I ping google.com
Any ideas why this might occur?
Your Firewall is configured to block all ICMP packets. As a result you cannot send ICMP echo request packets to external networks.
To resolve this issue you need to contact the network administrator and request that they disable this firewall rule.
