Nmap, Firewall Testing, Idlescan?

Hi, I have a couple of routers at various sites which include firewalls & I would like to use nmap to test them. I have been experimenting with idlescans in an attempt to fool the firewall, but have been unsuccessful & am unsure if this is the firewall working, or me failing! :) I am attempting to 'bounce' the scans off another computer of mine on a different connection: e.g. MyIP is 1.2.3.1 BounceIP is 1.2.4.1 TargetIP is 1.2.5.1 nmap -T5 -v -P0 -sI 1.2.4.1 1.2.5.1 When I look at the firewall logs they show logs along the lines of the following: Source 1.2.3.1 Destination:1.2.5.1 Does this mean the firewall is working & successfully filtering the spoofed IP packets, or am I doing something wrong? Cheers, James
