You might try looking at the counts to see where the pings are being rejected. On the target machine, as root: # iptables -nvL Note the counts, then use the source machine to try to ping the target and again: # iptables -nvL Which counts have changed? The lines with the changed counts are the ones activated by the pings. (Of course, you need to do this on a quiet lan so that the target machine is not being flooded by traffic from other systems.) 2. iptables problems can be difficult to debug without seeing all the rules, since the order of the rules is so important. I know you are worried about security, but you'll need to show them to someone you trust if you can't solve tis yourself. -- Dale Dellutri -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
