I just ran a test for the first time a ages over at GRC and it tells me that I'm receiving ICMP pings. Now, I've never gotten these before and I'm behind a router and I'm also using Kerio, so this has me a little baffled.
Does anyone have any theories? Also, are there any other good port tests etc. online?

Go into your adsl router / modem's control panel. Enter the password it usually is admin.
Look for a section called Firewall / Intrusion Detection put a tick in Discard Ping To WAN Interface. This will stop the Ping Reply and you will be completly stealthed at GRC..
