My firewall have IP 10.0.2.130 on eth0. 
My station have IP 10.0.2.2.

I configure my firewall for drop the ping from the station with 1 rules :=


# iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 10.0.2.2 -p icmp -j DROP 

When I ping the firewall from my station (ping 10.0.2.130) , I receive an=
 response from the serveur 

Why =3F
 
What is the problem =3F My netmask =3F
