Folks,
I have access server (3640) with NM-8AM configured for dialup , I tried
to put access-list to block the ICMP echo and echo-reply on the ingress
and egress of its Ethernet interface.
When I put the access-list as following:

Access-list 120 deny icmp any any echo
Access-list 120 deny icmp any any echo-reply
Access-list 120 permit ip any any

Interface Ethernet e0/0
Ip access-group 120 in
Ip access-group 120 out

I found that the dialup users lost the browsing and DNS is not working
but when I removed the access-list from the input and keep it only on
the output , everything went good and browsing back again!!!
Do u know any relation between DNS and ICMP!?

Regards
