No, I don't. While trying to get the thing working, I can ping myself from other hosts and get the proper replies, as well as ping myself from my own machine. > What is icmpinfo, anyway? icmpinfo is a handy little program that sits in the background and watches for icmp "pings" or echo requests. When working properly, any time anyone pings you, it reports the time, host, packet size, etc. Nice for IRC'ers who may be subjected to the "ping flood" DOS attack. It is distributed with FreeBSD in /usr/ports/net/icmpinfo.
