How can I get my ICMP Echo Request to get an actual response?

My DUT is a firewall and I have configured an ICMP rule on it.
I have one port on each zone of this firewall and also two separate devices configured, allowed to respond to pings.
The thing is, my ICMP Echo Request stream doesn't receive a response in the pcap file I set.
How can I make it work?

Thanks,

Do you mean you created a raw stream block as an Echo Request?

Make sure you have signature turned off. Also verify destination MAC and IP correctly matches the device you are pinging.

Note that the device will probably do an ARP before responding to the Echo Request.

Run the capture to see what is going on.
