Anders,

   Yes it does, with the 1st rule you only allow the outgoing
 'ping' packets ... but with no other rule, you'll never get a
 reply I think. You should add a 2d rule to allow the replies :

Src             Dest            Service
Internet        Internal        echo-reply + (?? time-exceeded &
dest-unreach ??)

  That way only outgoing ICMP will be allowed, and incoming replies.

Met vriendelijke groeten - Bien � vous - Kind regards

Subject: [FW1] Adding rule for echo-request.

Just curious:
Is there any difference in specifically adding a rule for
outbound echo-request, and just letting the packets out
through a more general rule?

E.g:

Src     Dest    Service
Internal        internet        echo-request
vs.

Src     Dest    Service
Internal internet Any

Does this affect the way the the FW treats these packets?

Cheers,
Anders RM :)
