[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] Too Many Internal Hosts
This is caused by the external interface of the firewall not being defined correctly. You want to change this to reflect the external interface of the firewall, when this is not set the firewall counts both internal and external address as traversing it and records them in it's host file. Once it has reaced the license limit, 25 in your case, it will begin to spew out those errors. If you run 'cpconfig' one of the menu options should be external interface, set it to reflect the physical name (on Nokia it's eth-sxpxc0 on Sun hme0/qfe0) . You will then want to stop the firewall go into the database directory and delete the fwd.h and fwd.hosts in order to reset the host count. You shouldn't experience this error after having set the external interface appropriately.

I don't know when Checkpoint fix this bug in the next sevice pack. Unfortunately, for Nokia user the SP3 haven't release yet. cheers to you :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "jason clements" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2001 4:33 PM Subject: [FW1] Too Many Internal Hosts > > When running one of our nokia 330's with a 25 user license we get the "too > many internal hosts" error message.
