I too am having the same problem using Indy 10.1.5.
Any calls to TIdICMPClient's TTL property (which I had to decend to use),
cause the ping to time out. This is despite the fact that if you look at the
packets using Ethereal, the pings return rapidly with 'TTL expired'. Yet by
using OnReply in aforementioned class I just get a timeout. I don't get it
at all.
So, I started using TIdTraceRoute. This comes back with hostname '' and ip
address = 0.0.0.0 for every hop, with FReplyStatus=rsTimeout.
What's going on!?
PS, I'm using windows 2003 server and delphi 2006.
