Hi,

iptables -l does not show me anything. and I stopped the service as
well. somehow, up2date is not working on my computer, so cannot use
it.

I am able to ping to others and they can ping each other except me.
So, still checking ICMP comes into picture? I dont think so it is
required.  And If it is required please let me know how to check for
ICMP?
