I think, Most of the time to play online games or open up new things it says to "Disable Your Firewall" Of course you disable it and the game works. Of Course, Say if you play online servers like the popular server "XBCConnect" Just an Example, But to open that Server you would need to disable your "Firewall" I think that can prevent Pinging depends on if your running your firewall and it's pinging try turning it off and see if it's pinging. But Sometimes you will just have to reset your router for better connection and less ping. To reset your router "Unplug the AC Adapter Cord" looks like a head phone jack cord or wire. But other times you might need to simpily Restart your computer. Make sure you know what your doing with your cords so you don't mess them up though. I hope this Answer helps you It was the best answer i could give. ------ Firewalls are highly configurable. Depending on the manufacturer, its default behavior may be to drop ICMP (ping) packets. There really is no standard rule on the subject. There are probably thousands of different types of firewalls. In general, though, if you are on the "inside" (protected network) of a firewall, your pings will not be prevented.

Does 2002 vw passat v6 engine need 91octane fuel?

Yes. It's a higher compression engine which requires a higher octane level to help prevent "pinging" in the engine. This engine does have the intelligence built-in that detects "pinging" and retards the engine timing to prevent to pinging from occuring. Pinging is when the gas explodes early while the piston is still going up. This can cause damage to the piston over time, something that's expensive to fix. If you put 87 octane in the tank the car will detect the pinging early, retard the timing to save the engine but the fuel economy and performance goes down. Generally speaking you'll pay more in gas by dumping 87 in the tank than filling it up with the good stuff since the performance is better.
