RE: [FW1] NT server or NT workstation as Operating System ?



I ran it fine on NT Workstation for 3 years.  The 10 user limit is the
connections to the workstation not through it.  It doesn't limit all
software to 10 connections only Microsoft's.  Even Netscape server will not
be limited by this.

However, I switched to NT Server recently to benefit from some of Server
better resource management.

Thanks,

James

It's not recommended to run Checkpoint FW-1 on NT Workstation. This
limitation is based only from the licenses offered by Microsoft. NT
Workstation is licensed for 10 concurrent network connections only.
