Yes, usually my first test during network hookups. Its just such a natural thing to ping outside for testing resolv.conf, that its quite aggravating every time I forget which machine I'm on and try it from the one where it won't work. Not only can I ping the router... but I can connect with tcp to anything I want to on the internet. Its just that I can't ping the internet. So its something I can live with for the most part but every so often the ingrained habit of ping testing something outside will cause me some aggravation. That would seem to indicate some sort of icmp blocking but again, I can not see any evidence of that on the router.
