I configure my firewall for drop the ping from the station with 1 rules : # iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 10.0.2.2 -p icmp -j DROP When I ping the firewall from my station (ping 10.0.2.130) , I receive an response from the serveur Why ? What is the problem ? My netmask ? If i modify my netmask to 255.0.0.0 on firewall and my station, the ping doesn't work. Normal ! Iptables don't understand network address not in class A, B or C HELP ME !!!
