blocking icmp protocol

[John O'Loughlin]

filter is the default table so -t filter is not needed, also this will 
drop all icmp from everywhere, which may  not be what he wants.

If the host can still ping you it may well be the case that an earlier 
rule is allowing them to do so, remember iptables works on a first match 
basis.
