Shame on me ;-) Now I saw: "if neither are specified, the rule will match packets in both directions."

This is basically a training exercise for me so I dont do to much harm if some rules don't work right away as expected. and this rule is valid even it if its not working as expected but after I activated it I could ping from the host and to the host. Without the rule I couldn't. On a host with just one nic it might be redundant but if you have more the one nic this might be a valid choice. regards -- Markus Rosjat fon: +49 351 8107223 mail: ros...@ghweb.de G+H Webservice GbR Gorzolla, Herrmann Königsbrücker Str. 70, 01099 Dresden http://www.ghweb.de fon: +49 351 8107220 fax: +49 351 8107227 Bitte prüfen Sie, ob diese Mail wirklich ausgedruckt werden muss!
