iptables DROP icmp applied, still being pinged


I can't get iptables to work, I tried this easy example just to start, but the box is still pingable.

iptables -A INPUT -s 24.x.x.x -p ICMP -j DROP

I am still pingable from 24.x.x.x machine

I also tried exclusively,

iptables -A INPUT -p ICMP -j DROP

The order of the rules in iptables matters. Is there a rule ahead of your icmp rule that could be accepting the packets?
