DROP should be another option... you'll have to check your manual for your
software for specifics, but they each handle the request differently, and
send different messages (Or none at all) back to the originating device.
for instance DROP just discards the packet, and sends NOTHING to the
originator, the originating machine would just sit there untill it times
out...

This may be another newbie question, when "dis-allowing" certain packets
is it better to deny or reject? Why the different actions?
Thanks
