Re: [FW1] NIC problem with WIN2k



I beg to differ...

Even in the courseware, it is tought as a new operating system for CP2000,
unless the books are wrong.  I sure hope not, because that would mean I'm
teaching my students the wrong information...

On another note, the firewall runs fine on Win2k, only with a few problems
like the one I had a question about.  I prefer to run it on Solaris or
Redhat, but unfortuanetly, I do not make the final decision for my company.

You can't run checkpoint on W2k, its not approved, and will not run
properly.  The next version should support W2K.

Hello all,

I have a question for you guys.  Currently my company is using WinNT, CP
FW-1, SP3.  We are migrating to Win2k.  The firewall has 4 NICS, and the
CP license is bound to the NIC facing the internet.  My problem is
this...Under windows 2000, Win2k does not recognize the NIC as being
enabled if the Cable or connection is down (ie. "ipconfig /all = "cable
disconnected")..which means that if our link or connection goes down on
the NIC that the Firewall is licensed to, Windows will not recognize
that NIC.  This means that Checkpoint will not recognize that the
firewall has a license and thus not allowing us to control policy for
traffic flow thought the other 3 NICS.  It will give you the error, "no
license for user interface".

Besides plugging a loopback cable into the NIC if the connection happens
to go down, does anybody have any other suggestions on how to make Win2k
recognize the IP's of the NICs, even if the cables are disconnected?

Thank you,

Aeon
