Suppose host B in the diagram below pings host A. A sends it's echo-reply
packets to the firewall because that's the default gateway. Firewall drops
the echo reply packet because it does not see a corresponding echo request
packet. Does it work like this? If yes, I know creating a rule that allows
all communications between the internal nets would help things. I ask this
because I think a lot of netbios traffic is being dropped between these
internal nets. Although I suspect the tcp timeouts could be causing some
problems too. I'd appreciate any comments on this. Thanks.
