Don't - log packet filter rule?

paket
Hello.

I'm getting tons of blocked NetBIOS packets in my logs and I would like to get rid of them (the log entries, unfortunatly not the NetBIOS packets). I currently have the following packet filter rule in place:

From: Green_Network
Service: {netbios}
To: Any
Action: Drop

But I'm still getting all of the log entries. Is there any way to persuade astaro to drop packets without logging them?

    e.g. your network is 192.168.2.0/24 so your broadcast address will be 192.168.2.255 .. add two definitions:
    LAN  Broadcast  192.168.2.255  255.255.255.255
    WorldBroadcast  255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255

    Add packetfiler rules

    Any Any Lan/WorldBroadcast Drop
    or
    GreenNet netbios Lan/WorldBroadcase Drop

    Make it your "first" rule ! ;-)

    It was my 'first' rule, but squeeze's trick (above) worked like a charm.

    many thanks
