Ah, but you DO recognize that ICMP is a threat, and so you have set
access-rules on it.  That was my main point.  And as Sandy pointed out,

Obviously ICMP _CAN_ be a security risk, but so is having your network connected to the Internet. I know a lot of admins that block ICMP for a plethora of reasons. At this point, this is probably getting a little off-topic, but in reality, if you block ICMP, you break IP. That's the bottom line, and nobody can argue that. So, everyone does what he/she needs to do to sleep better at night, and if this includes blocking ICMP, then so be it... But I'm gonna have to agree with Scott when he said "I can't ping you, fix that problem first!!"
