Re: Cannot ping a Windows 11 machine
After poking around I managed to enable ICMP responses on my Windows 11 machine:
Open *Windows Defender Firewall* and select *Advanced Settings* in the sidebar. Switch to *Inbound Rules* via the Getting Started page or the sidebar. Find the rule named "Core Networking Diagnostics - ICMP Echo Request (ICMPv4-In)" with *Profile* of "Private, Public" (unless you're on a corporate domain...). You can right-click the rule and *Enable Rule*.
You might also want to do the same for the IPv6 version named "Core Networking Diagnostics - ICMP Echo Request (ICMPv6-In)". I don't know why Microsoft decided to disable these by default.
