Unable to Ping to Internal Gateway

[reachmedia]

Hi All,

Quoted from another thread:

System Packet Filter Rules:
uncheck "Allow ping on all interfaces"

Create Rule:
"ICMP Internal"
Action "Pass"
Protocol "ICMP"
Source Interface "Internal"

Create Rule:
"ICMP External"
Action "Drop"
Protocol "ICMP"
Source Interface "External"

I've followed the steps to enable ICMP on internal interface. However I'm unable to ping to my internal gateway from my client PCs i.e. unable to ping to 192.168.1.1.

Pls advise.
Thanks

The order in which the rules are listed is important since first match is the only rule triggered. It starts the matching from the top.

Thanks for the reply, I've reordered but there is no change still. Forget to add further details on issue:

where local gateway = 192.168.1.1

Ping from local gateway -> local PCs <OK>
Ping from local PC to PC <OK>
Ping from local PC to local gateway <NOT OK>

Pls advise.
Thanks

Are these rules in Config -> Network -> Advanced -> Access Rules ?

Bingo! I was about to post it ... apparently its the Access rules issue which I have yet to set it up Internal ICMP to local gateway.

Can I know whats the difference between Access Rules vs Filter Rules?

Filter Rules = Layer 3 traffic across UT.
Access Rules = Traffic to the UT box itself.
Firewall Rules = Layer 7 traffic through UT.
