Server 2008 and ICMP Ping does not work,,, GRRR

So here is the quickest way to allow pinging to a standard install of 2008 windows server.

I was trying to ping across 2008 servers on an internal LAN which was not working due to the default restrictions on the builtin firewall.

Go to control panel>>
Open Windows Firewall>>
Select, Allow a Program through Windows Firewall
Check File and Printer Sharing>>

I was then able to ping across the LAN
