When I try to ping the desktop I get this:
> ping 192.168.1.10 20 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 19014ms
Desktop rejects icmp_echo packets, which can be done in different ways ...
1. by writing to icmp_echo* files in /proc dir 2. by firewall rules (iptables)
Some amateurs think, their system is much more protected if doesn't replay to icmp, which is not true. What's worse, lot of them use it as the only protection. :-)
