"Filtered" is the result you want. It means that nmap got no response
at all. Not sure what you mean by getting it to "disappear."

OK, this is strange. Where are you doing the nmap and pinging from? If
you are doing all of this from the machine with the firewall, these
results are not meaningful. Do it from another machine.
