I do not know.  Sounds like a bug in TIdIcmpClient.

Maybe.  Is 192.168.0.3 the IP address of your router?  If you use
Microsoft's ping utility at the command prompt, do you get the same results
as TIdIcmpClient?

I am also behind a router.  I receive the appropriate host IP addresses just
fine when using the command-line ping utility, but receive my own when using
TIdIcmpClient.

> is there any other way to ping another computer which will work?

You could try accessing Microsoft's undocumented ICMP.DLL directly.
