I've configured monowall on Vmware Server with bridged connections to LAN and WAN (not host only).  I have two machines behind Monowall and one the other side.  If I ping from one of the two machines individually it works fine but if I leave one pinging and try the other one I get no response and 100% packet loss.  If I kill the first ping the second machine can then ping.  This is causing great problems with network printers that are continually checking the status as it keeps disconnecting and then re-connecting the printer.  Any Ideas?
I'm using Version 1.231

ipfilter's NAT can't keep track of more than one ping to the same destination with a single public IP. This is expected behavior, and a known limitation.
