What does that filter rule look like exactly? What would an IP-ARP packet look like? Is it coming into 192.168.1.255 (in my case)? Would it be addressed to the gateway itself (192.169.1.1)? Is it a different protocol?
I would like to continue blocking broadcast pings from the client, but not at the cost of losing connectivity...duh?? Thanks!
