RE: [FW1] fw1 and Wn2k



>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!

Subject: [FW1] fw1 and Wn2k


Need some help badly.  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.
 
Thanks,
