Confused by "rules" in Kerio personal firewall 4.1 Dubious Dude 06-26-2007

I'm use to KPF 2.1.5, but have kpf 4.1 on a machine. I can't ping that machine
unless I disable the Network Security Module. There are *no* rules in that
module that denay anything -- all rules either permit or ask the user. The
incoming ping does not cause a box to pop up to ask the user. I also clicked
the Packet Filter button on this module, and unchecked Deny All. Still doesn't
allow incoming pings. From the lack of denial rules, it seems like nothing
should block incoming pings. Why would it do this?

I ended up testing the firewall with ping because of problems ssh'ing to that
machine. It turns out that the disabling the Network Security module also
allows ssh to connect. So the same question as to why also applies to ssh.

Is Windows firewall also on? That blocks incoming 'stuff'.

No, the firewall service is not started. The problem also goes away when I
disable the Kerio 4.1 Network Security Module (not that I want to do that, hence
the problem).
