Some distributions' default firewall rules respond to icmp packets with
a host unreachable packet. This is a system/network administration
thing (iptables) and nothing to do with kernel development.

There's a firewall built into linux, read the man page for the
"iptables" command. The "iptables-save" command dumps your entire
current ruleset to stdout so you can see what's in there. (You might
have to run it as root, I forget.)
