Ah, I could have been more clear about this, but I meant I blocked all the ICMP traffic my firewall allows. I'm running Tiny Firewall on a WinXP Home install (strangely, I couldn't get Tiny to work with PRO) and all traffic is blocked unless it's specifically allowed. So far my node seems to be working ok as well as my web server, mail server and ftp server. I didn't consider that these messages could impact my network. What outside ICMP traffic would you NOT block (besides PMTU as you said)?
