I have a Fedora fileserver that I use on my home network only, so I
want it to have no outside access and no inbound access except for my
home subnets (a router and an access point).  Here's what I have built
so far, but it is not blocking pings to the outside world:

[root@fedora ~]# iptables -L -v
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source
destination
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  any    any     192.168.2.0
192.168.2.0
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  any    any     192.168.1.0
192.168.1.0
   43  3049 ACCEPT     all  --  eth0   any     anywhere
anywhere
    0     0 REJECT     all  --  any    any     anywhere
anywhere            reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source
destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 24 packets, 3312 bytes)
 pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source
destination
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  any    any     192.168.1.0
192.168.1.0
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  any    any     192.168.2.0
192.168.2.0

My problem occurs when I delete INPUT 3 (the one with all the traffic)
or add OUTPUT 3 like this:
iptables -I OUTPUT 3 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j DROP

Lucky for me, I figured out that I could set up a crontab to stop
iptables every 10 minutes so that I could get back in.  Any
suggestions?
