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,
