Does Blocking ICMP Requests Affect SEO?

[SteveOllington]

All in the title really. One of our clients came up with errors with a server header check, so I pinged them and it times out. The hosting company have told them that it's because they're blocking ICMP requests and this doesn't affect SEO at all... but I know that sometimes pinging posts, etc... can be beneficial so is this correct?

Thanks,

Steve.

Pining posts is not the same thing as a ping in network terms.  Pinging posts is more eaily described as requesting the post periodically.
