Pings were not getting through so I added this near the top of the rule set: ##### # Allow icmp ##### ${FWCMD} add allow icmp from any to any It does work but, two questions: 1) Is there a better way? 2) Will this cause harm or otherwise expose the server to some vulnerability?FIRST question: Are you trying to make _outgoing_ ping work, or let the outside world 'ping' internal machines on your network? What you wrote is not clear on this point.
