In fact you have to take steps to allow pings, because the default is to block them. Start with the quick start guide, and its pretty simple. -- John Andersen - NORCOM http://www.norcomsoftware.com/

Go down to the P''s where you will find a topic called "Ping Management" -- click on that link. d) That takes you to a page detailing all you need to know about how to manage ''ping'' under Shorewall. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net
