You don't give much information about what you've done already, but you have probably set the policy for the INPUT chain to DROP so it will drop any packet for which NF has no rule to accept it. In that case you'll have to accept ICMP traffic from your LAN : iptables -A INPUT -i $IF_LAN -s $IP_LAN -p icmp -j ACCEPT If you have also set policy to DROP for the OUTPUT chain, you'll want to be able to send the reply packets : iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT Gr, Rob
