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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonah Kowall" <[email protected]> To: "Neo" <[email protected]>; "checkpoint" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2001 6:06 PM Subject: RE: [FW1] NIC problem with WIN2k You can't run checkpoint on W2k, its not approved, and will not run properly.

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?
