The 
deny rule was there first.  It takes precedence over 
the
next 
ACCEPT rule to be added.

  ipchains -A input -p icmp -j DENY 
  Will deny all icmp packet to my system. 
  ipchains -A input -p icmp -j ACCEPT 
  will not turn back on allowing of those packets.  
  What did I do wrong? 
  Thanks, Chris Fowler <FONT
