IP Configuration Problem
i have a small network which I setup behind a router. All the clients and server can access the Internet and ping each other. The problem im facing now is that im not able to ping my internet server using its public IP given by the ISP. (by the way, my server have a private and public ip)
how do i troubleshoot such issue?

im using compex SKW811 wireless router. It is a small router but i dont see there is any setting which lets me disable the ping responses.

First question:
What do you mean your server has a public and a private IP. Do you mean that you have 2 NICS with differant addresses on them ?
Is the Server behind the router ? If so why are you running a public address behind a router running NAT ?
If your trying to "open" up your server for games, web, FTP, etc behind a router w/ NAT then best to just do port forwarding

GrindCrusher,
He is saying that the router is a broadband wireless router. It plugs into the ADSL, cable modem. It then assumes the Public IP address as well as a private IP Address so it can communicate with the Private Network, ie it routes between the private and public addresses.
Anyway...I miss read what you originally said dennifong. I now am guessing that you cant ping any public side IP Address?
If so, it sounds like the router is blocking inbound ping responses.
Can you get me some links to the manuals for this router?

He specically says his server has public and private. That is what I was looking for clarification on... Im very familiar with how NAT works.
From what I gather he is using a public IP behind the router, the router is translating public to private address so any clients and the router wouldnt know how to arrive at his "public" address on the server.
What would make this easier is if we had an IP topology layout of all the devices involved

ICMP might not be enabled if 2K look under services and enable it

Normally, small home routers have a setting which disables ping responses on the public side.
