What IP address are you trying to ping from the internet? The private IP
(10.x.x.x)? This will not be possible because the private ranges are not
routable on the internet. They are called black hole IPs.
But about your config -
First of all, you have two gateways indicated on your PC. There must ONLY be
ONE gateway. You cannot have two gateways hardcoded. In your case, choose
the cable modem. Yes, all outside traffic communications will go thru that
cable modem.
Second, the firewall may not be allowing ICMP on that interface. Disable it
and give it a shot.
Third, you MUST allow ICMP pass through on the cable modem router/firewall.
This is NOT good practice. However you can pass traffic such as web, ftp,
etc, to your PC's internal IP address. This way to the outside world it sees
the cable IP address. You would connect to the cable IP address for these
services.
What are your intentions for access to your PC from the outside world? Keep
in mind cable companies are notorious for blocking all kinds of inbound
traffic to keep people from running servers and stuff. Plus their upload
speed is turtle slow at 768kbps. Their download may be fast, but upload is a
crawl. They won't tell you that part. That is why I got rid of my cable
internet access. They keep pleading for me to come back to them but I tell
them their service is slow and does not fulfill my requirements.
