        Check for a software firewall on the workstation blocking the incoming pings.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          You will either have to configure the software firewall on your workstation to answer an icmp echo or turn off the software firewall completely.
