I'm not familiar with that router firmware but there should be an
option in the firewall settings to block ICMP requests. I'm pretty
sure my last Netcomm ADSL/Router had that option.
As additional info, I am running Ubuntu Lucid (is there something in
Lucid which could be set? - although I have never had to fiddle with
any settings in Ubuntu before so I believe that this is modem
firewall hassle, but then I am not a network geek :-) ).
You could block ICMP via UFW but, that will not stop your router
responding to the requests, only the Lucid system. And unless you're
running a DMZ directly to said box for some reason, that won't achieve
what you want.
As a side note, you may want to see if there is a firmware update
available.
Ah, thanks, I just remembered that I came across the menu which allowed
me to check for upgrades. Must see if there is an upgrade.
