I’m having same problem. Not able to ping my example.com from windows command prompt. I’ve not installed any firewall. Is some webserver necessary to be installed first for ping to work?
I’ve not installed/activated any firewall.
Since you’ve tagged this Apache, I’m assuming you have that installed on your Droplet. Can you access http://domain.com? Is it just ping that is not working? Do you have a firewall configured?
