Hi, back after a day off my problem still causes me headaches...

If this ICMP is a firewall issue, I now use the firewall rules for a
stand alone machine coming with net-dialup/rp-pppoe. It used to work for
me before. So I must have screwed up something other.

only session opened, closed, webmin starting and so on. Can't see any
harmfull.
