I have FW-1 v4.0 in a test situation trying to understand it before I break my internet.... If I set up a rule to block all traffic to the firewall it does what it says on the tin. If I try to block traffic to machines beyond the FW, I have to put in 2 rules; one for each direction. ie
SourceDestServiceAction
1.AnyTestAnyDrop
2.TestAnyAnyDrop
This stops me from pinging Test through the FW. If I disable r1 I get a response from Test. If I reenable r1 and disable r2 I dont get a response, but if I delete r2 then rule 1 no longer has an effect.
Please can anyone shed any light
TIA
Peter
