Hi, Just a simple one I hope...

To simplify the description, lets say I have an FW-1 on a NOKIA with two
user interfaces (ethernet) enabled.
I have a workstation attached to the lan on each interface and I install a
policy with no "clean-up" rule.
Instead the last rule is "any any any accept".
I have set "ipsofwd on" at the Nokia level. (I thought FW-1 allowed
forwarding and tat it was just the Nokia that needed to be forced to allow
this ?)

And yet I cannot ping from one workstation to the other !

The "Allow ICMP" option in the "Policy properties" only inserts an "any any
ICMP accept" rule anyway (?), so my "allow-any" rule should cover that.
The routing/default gateway's on the workstations just points to the local
interface on each.

So what is stopping the ping ???
Any suggestions would be gratefully received !

Cheers, Gordon
