I need someone to confirm or correct my impressions regarding an IPFW
message on my console...

ipfw: Deny ICMP:8.0 204.238.179.1 202.27.120.133 in via ed0

If I am reading this correctly, an ICMP ECHO (ping) request was denied.  
This ping was seen entering the internal wire at ed0.  Now which one of
these IP's *generated* the request: 204... or 202... ???  Assuming
(as I believe) that it was "202...", I am highly suspicious as to the
accuracy of this report: the box making the report is on an isolated
wire, and therefore could not have recieved this message on it's internal
port.  The only connection for this test box would be via a dial-on-demand
[kernel] ppp link on ppp0.

Any thoughts, corrections, or suggestions are very welcome - Please!
