RE: [FW1] Fw: unknown established tcp packet



I had something very similar with an SQL app. I suspect the TCP session
timeout in the firewall has been made to work properly in more recent
versions (I noticed this change when I went from 4.0 to 4.1SP3). I think the
SQL app didn't generate any traffic at all if the user didn't ask for
anything, but if the user then came back and made a new request, the app
would then send the new data but still use the original TCP ports, sequence
numbers etc. 
 
I got round this by raising the TCP timeout in the policy properties a bit,
to a point where you could say if the user hadn't made any queries in that
time then they should have logged out.

Subject: [FW1] Fw: unknown established tcp packet


Once again another e-mail titled unknown established tcp packet.  I have
looked through the list but I was not able to find a definitive solution for
this error.  Here is my problem after applying the latest check point
service pack (SP4) I began seeing my logs fill up with dropped packets by
rule 0 with the unknown TCP error.  Now I have customers telling me that
they cannot ssh, run restores, ect through their firewalls which upon
further investigation I noticed that all the packets were being dropped by
rule 0.  I am also seeing lots of in-bound packet to customer web sites
being dropped by rule 0 with the same error.  None of this was happening
when I was at SP 1 or 2.  Anyone out there have a solution for this????
