Here is the Snort log alert.

How can I make it so my machine replies to *no* icmp packets ?
I've even gone and installed CyberKit on an old Windows box to
see if I could generate and alert but it didn't work.

So I don't understand how my icmp packets are denied but not 4.34.170.219 in the above log sample.

Martin thinks:
Snort is working in promiscious mode so it is able to see all packets, right? In the log above it seems that it is the Echo Requests snort is reporting, I don't think your machine is sending any Echo Replies back to 4.34.170.219.
