I have tried setting up a firewall using iptables with a very simple rule like the following: # iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP When trying to connect from the other host through tcp port 80, there was no response, which is expected. However, the 'dropped' value was note added up even the packet is dropped. Any comment would be greatly appreciated. -- Sincerely, Jyo
