[ubuntu-uk] firestarter

[Andrew Golightly]

Right thanks. I was just following what I thought was a useful tutorial 
on installing firestarter on Ubuntu 
(http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=121596). In that 
tutorial they enabled ICMP filtering. But I guess a mistake according to 
you..

I'll disable it.

cheers Paul,
