+5 A:

You will likely need to enable ICMP in your network/firewall settings on your server.

i alreay try to disable firewall to test if then works but it is the same. Must i enable ICMP in router?

did you check your network/firewall settings on the computer your pinging from as well?

Some sys admins block pings for security through obscurity reasons, but it's a bit outdated now as attackers go straight for standard ports anyway.

So somewhere on the route someone is block ICMP packets; it might be your computer or any switch or router on the way.

Try a backtrace; on Windows use tracert 89.212.252.73
