Stephen,
You don''t have any rule to accept pings from the network to the
firewall! Shorewall is doing exactly what you are asking it to do. If
you want the firewall to respond to ping, you need:
ACCEPT net fw icmp 8
Did you perhaps upgrade from a very old version of Shorewall? When
upgrading (between major releases especially), you need to read the
"Upgrade Issues" on the web site because I sometimes make incompatible
changes at major releases.
