AirPort Firewall problem

[rfm]

I am trying to get VisualRoute to work. However, my AirPort acts as a personal firewall and blocks all incoming ICMP traffic. This means that when tracing an IP address I can see how many hops it took to get to the server, I can see what server is being used but I can't see where the server is located.

Can somebody tell me how I can configure AirPort to let ICMP traffic through and which port ICMP uses?

Thanks!
Robert

You can't configure it at all...the base station doesn't "block" ICMP, it just fails to route it to a specific computer. This is nothing you can fix. The only way we can get it is if Apple upgrades the base station firmware to allow the routing of ICMP packets. If you find I'm wrong, send me an e-mail and let me know how you did it.
