RE: SonicWall SoHo "deny" behavior

[Jeff Demel <jdlists@iglue.com>]

That's odd.  My Sonicwall logs say that packets are dropped, not refused.  I
use a pretty standard setup, mostly defaults.

It makes me wonder if the behaviour is different from what's logged.  Are
you looking at the logs or are you testing from outside?  When I tested from
outside, the ports showed stealth, which indicates the packets are being
dropped not refused, correct?  I recently ran a firmware upgrade, and
haven't tested since, so I hope that hasn't changed.

The behavior I am seeing by a SonicWall SoHo when an incoming packet
matches a "Deny" rule is that the connection is *refused*.  Ugh.  I
want the packet to be *dropped*.  Does anyone know if there's a way
to achieve this?  I don't see how to do it from the manual.

-Thanks, Jim
