Re: cant ping fw

Brent,

Have you tried specifying an interface or address
range explicitly?

such as....

$IPT -t filter -A INPUT -i lo -p icmp --icmp-type
echo-request -j ACCEPT

or....

$IPT -t filter -A INPUT -d 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 -p icmp
--icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT

perhaps even combining those.. good luck!
