I went to the ShieldsUP!!! site and ran the file sharing and common ports
tests.  According to the results, I allowed ping to reply to their server
via ICMP echo, and I have port 21 (ftp) and 23 (telnet) open.  How do I:

(1) block/ignore ICMP echo requests
(2) Tell inquirers that ports 21 and 23 exist but are closed to connections

Thanks for the feedback.
