I Have a Home Server (Windows Server 2012), where i have wamp, teamspeak, and other servers, i used windows because some of the servers i need are windows based, no change to Linux is not an option
My problem is that i can't not ping to my Server or access for example wamp with an external machine, but before was working great, i didn't change anything, just stop working
the funny thing is that im able to access to RDP, with an external machine
also , i had disabled the firewall, i restart the router, and nothing
i found these links
not able to ping server or but can RDP
Not able to ping remote server
but not luck
any clue why is this happening?

Windows Server does not respond to ping requests by default.
A quick Googling guides me to this guide: http://blog.blksthl.com/2012/11/20/how-to-enable-ping-in-windows-server-2012/
If you are unable to access your WAMP server, I would suggest you first check if the web server is running.
If your server is sitting behind a LAN, check for internal connectivity within the LAN. Open a web browser, and navigate to the server's IP.
Third, make sure that proper ports are opened in your router. Most home routers has a function named "port forwarding" or "virtual server" to do this.
