>From our experience this combination is very problem ridden. Our vendor would not even support it 6 months ago when we tried the same thing. We ended up scrapping the project and going to a Nokia solution instead. Our firewall did not experience the exact problems that you are having but ours kept blue screening every 10-15 hours. We had numerous other problems as well that generated a huge amount of error messages in the event logs that nobody seemed to be able to help us correct. Just a warning but good luck!

I'm setting up a new firewall (FW1 4.1 sp3 on Win2k Advanced Server). OS is installed and hardended, firewall is installed and policy is in place. I'm all set to put this machine online next sunday and now i'm getting tons of problems. Main two problems are: 1. Interfaces take about 5 minutes to come online upon reboot which causes the firewall not to detect a license installed, thus a policy is not active. So when the interfaces finally decide to work, I have to run fwstop and fwstart in order to even log onto the policy. In the NT event log, i get firewall-1 license errors due to the fact that it didn't recognize the interface the firewall is licensed to. 2. After I run fwstop and fwstart and I can get into the policy, when I try to push policy (or do an FW STAT on the command line), I get error "unable to open "\device\fw1": the system cannot find..blah blah..." So I was supposed to put this thing online for testing tomorrow morning, but I doesn't seem like it wants to work for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
