Hi,

I wrote an icmp rule with "reject" action and
test it by echo request packets (ping), but
I didn't catch any "Destination port unreachable"
message on the test system. It seems that my
"reject" rule works as a "drop" rule only! Now
please tell me What do I to fix this problem?


Thanks,
Bahamin
