It simply cannot be done.

Are you using MS Proxy and proxy client ?

if you are and your default gateway is something different that the
proxy, you will get this happen -

The DNS resasalution will go through the proxy, resolve (hopefully) and
come back with an IP, then the PING command will try and ping that IP,
however, it will send it to your default gasteway and NOT the proxy
server. (I belive).

Its as simple as that:

The Proxy winsock service support both UDP and TCP packets. It does NOT
support ICMP packets. Applications like Ping and Nslookup rely on ICMP
packets so it is NOT possible to use them with the winsock service. There
is nothing an admin can configure on the proxy to change this, the service
was just created to work this way.

Can anybody tell me the purpose of the Packet filter rule to allow ICMP
packets through the Proxy if it CANNOT be done?

I am totally confused

Pretty easy so the proxy server itself will allow pinging...
