Hi

I read from Firewall handbook as below:
icmptypes types 
Matches if the ICMP type is present in the list types. The list may be
specified as any combination of ranges and/or individual types separated
by commas. Commonly used ICMP types are: 0 echo reply (ping reply), 3
destination unreachable, 5 redirect, 8 echo request (ping request), and
11 time exceeded (used to indicate TTL expiration as with traceroute(8)).

So I config ipfw for icmp as following:

ipfw add pass icmp from <internal> to any icmptypes 8
ipfw add pass icmp from any to <internal> icmptypes 0
ipfw add pass icmp from any to <internal> icmptypes 11

I can ping but I can not traceroute.  Anything wrong with my config?

Thanks
Chutima S.
