[as solution to ping not working on firewalled machine]
this may work, but is rather broad. presumably, the machine is firewalled
for a reason. this essentially removes icmp from all the firewalling
rules. if someone could point at the icmp ping 'port', the above command
can be modified to open only that 'port' by using an appropriate -s (or
--destination-port) option.
