Block ICMP at the router. If that is not sufficient, nothing will be. If you want to hide the machine even from systems on the local segment, you would have to disable ARP. The easiest way to do that is to unplug the ethernet, as without ARP, nothing works. I've seen some kernel hacks that do what you want.

Hello List...
Is there a way that I can keep people from pinging my box. I looked in the inetd.conf file and saw echo commented out. But my box is still replying to icmp requests. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
