Trying to work out an odd problem. Client has just brought up a new line from a regional office. That office can ping up to the router prior to the Nokia/Checkpoint box. To or beyond the firewall, nothing.
I put a ICMP block rule in. . .and no drops from the remote network show up in the log. . .in fact, NO traffic from that remote network shows up in the log.
Yet 12 OTHER remote networks are having no problems connecting through the firewall and out.
Suggestions ? Comments ? Rude remarks about my ancestry ????

What maximum ping size is set up in the smart defense? Did you enable logging for implied rules. If not, you may not see the drops done by the smart defense.
