RE: [FW1] FW1: only 256 internal hosts allowed



I have the same problem and I have tried everything on phoneboy's site. It
doesn't clear the problem. This is not a case where I would use RTFM,
Volker. I've had this problem for 6 months and neither myself nor my
reseller can figure it out. We've reviewed the external.if, the fwd.h, and
the fwd.hosts file according to CheckPoint and phoneboy with no success.
I've gone through the debug process several times. Each time I end up
banging my head against the wall. So please consider the fact that this may
not be as simple as reading the f%%^ing manual!!

It's a known problem, for explanation see:
    http://www.phoneboy.com/faq/0001.html

Or short: Checkpoint has problems counting correctly. For solution see:

PS:  RTFM? (here: RTFFAQ)
