How do I setup White Russian 0.9 to drop pings to the router?

I tried to do it in firewall.user but couldn't get it to work.

Linksys calls this "Blcok Anonymous Internet Requests".

Thank you.
Roe.

I figured it out.

Add this to your /etc/firewall.user file:

### Block Pings
# See http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=11742
iptables          -A input_wan -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP


I had a forwarder that was forwarding to my computer behind the firewall.  Opps.

Thanx for looking.

The discussion might have continued from here.
