That's exactly it, Crist. I did a little research and that the PIX drops any packets with IP Options turned on. Currently there is no workaround. This is IP Option 7 to be exact.
Thanks,
Danny

It's not ICMP. It's the IP Options. Most firewalls will drop any packet with an IP Options. Many firewalls will not let you turn this off. I do not know how to allow IP Options through a PIX, but I know how to do it in Cisco IOS.
