How do I do that?
Ordinarily, firewall denials aren't logged, else you'd be logging an awful lot of data. Data that's only of use to people who actually do something with it. If you want logging, you have to arrange it. That can be done without firestarter, but I've only set firewall rules by running iptables commands in a script. I don't use the GUI tools to set complex firewall rules. It's quite likely that you've simply firewalled off ping replies. I've not install Fedora 12 yet, but older releases had a basic firewall configuration preference that you could select filtering of various ICMP traffic. You'll want to make sure that "echo" replies and requests aren't blocked. Don't firewall off ICMP traffic willy-nilly, you can break networking by doing so. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
