Allow outbound ICMP for specific programs only

[Guest Rotaluclac]

Call it paranoia - I set up the firewall to block all outbound traffic

by default, and to allow traffic only if it meets a rule.

 

I experimented with ping and tracert from the command prompt.

 

Normally, they both don't work. When I create a rule to allow outbound

ICMP traffic, they do work. That's what I expect.

 

Now I change the rule. Instead of allowing outbound ICMP for -any

program-, I change the program to C:\Windows\System32\PING.EXE , and I

leave the ICMP part as it was. I expect that ping still works, but that

tracert doesn't.

 

However, neither ping nor tracert works. WHY? To state my question

differently: is there a way to allow outbound ICMP for ping, but to

disallow it for tracert (or the other way round)?
