Cannot ping while using Fiddler (Request Timed Out)

As the title states, I cannot ping while using Fiddler. When I attempt to ping a website (For example "google.com") it will resolve the URL into an IP address, but it just gives a "Request timed out." message.

C:\Users\Owner>ping google.com

Pinging google.com [74.125.21.100] with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 74.125.21.100: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss)

I can surf the web, I can watch Netflix, I can get on Teamspeak, but I cannot ping a URL, and I cannot connect to the update server for a game that I play (I noticed the ping issue when I tried to ping the update server, but I cannot ping any server). The only pings I have successfully been able to perform are "localhost", "loopback", and "127.0.0.1"

This isn't about Fiddler; Fiddler is a HTTP proxy, and it doesn't change anything to do with ICMP packets used by the ping command.

My guess is that your firewall is blocking ICMP.

In the black QuickExec box below Fiddler's Web Sessions list, type

!ping google.com

and hit Enter. What do you see?
