Dear list,
This might be too fundamental to answer, but I would like to know
when will the 'dropped' value in the output of /sbin/ifconfig be counted up.
I have tried setting up a firewall using iptables with a very simple rule like
the following:
<samle>
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
When trying to connect from the other host through tcp port 80, there
was no response, which is expected.
However, the 'dropped' value was note added up even the packet is dropped.
Any comment would be greatly appreciated.

Jyo
