Hi,

shutting

what would be the use of this?

Blocking ICMP messages in most cases is absolutely nonsense. When there is 
no
reply to a ping, the sender will know that there *is* something there. 
Normally
the router before the target will send a "destination unreachable" when 
there is
no machine.

Oliver
