hping = Linux based tool, tcping.exe = Windows based tool able to check if given TCP port is open. Traceroute and Brodcast ping will use ICMP.

Why is TCP ping wrong? TCP Ping is a tcp oriented ping alternative used to test the leachability of a service on a host using TCP/IP.

I think it's because the Hping is part of the CEH module and not for the TCP Ping. Can anyone also share their opinion?

Correct I would say, but why is TCP ping not a viable answer here? I use tcping.exe all the time for checking ports.

Andy, what you said is correct, but remember that it 'ping' is running an ICMP echo request which was, of course, the trouble in the question. So, the firewall might have been configured to bounce such requests. The alternative 'hping' is running a 'ping' using the TCP/IP protocol. Hping actually runs on Linux and it is used to craft packets.
