        That should do it, yes.

        Try this:

        www.echogent.com/cgi-bin/fwlog.pl

        In short, this is an "echo" packet, which usually results
in your system sending an "echo reply". In other words, someone
is ping'ing you, and your firewall is blocking it. Was it echowall
that blocked this? I thought it allowed echo-requests...

cheers,
Scott
