      Did you allow the ICMP access with a floating rule or with one on an interface group?
      This won't work. You would have to remove such rules.

      You have to define pass rule on each WAN interface separately instead.

        Thanks @viragomann

        Here is what I got on the WAN2 Interface rule:

          The rule on the interface is fine, but are you sure, that it is applied to the incoming ICMP request?

          Simple test: Edit the ICMP rule, state a unique description and enable the logging. Try a ping and check the log then.

              Enable the displaying of the rule descriptions in the log settings to get the information.

                  So the rule in question is obviously applied. But on which rule tab is it defined? The screenshots do not show this.
                  And what is the COMGASTGW gateway? I don't expect any gateway setting on a rule for passing incoming traffic.

                    Rule: COMCAST Interface (WAN2)

                    Gateway WAN2: .96.85.39.206 (COMGASTGW)

                      As mentioned, there should not be a gateway stated in inbound rules.
                      With this pfSense redirects the packets to this gateway. This might not be, what you intend.
