I wonder if your firewall is blocking ping scans. Disable the firewall and see if you can ping google.
In my firewall, I do: # Block ping scans iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP # ... but not coming from our LAN iptables -A FORWARD -p icmp --icmp-type echo-reply -j DROP iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-reply -j DROP On Saturday 01 November 2003 06:15 am, Simon Kühling wrote: > hi everyone, > > i'm trying to get my gentoo box running as a firewall and nat-router for > my home-network. -- Stephen From here to there and there to here, funny things are everywhere. -- Dr Seuss -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
