I have a big problem connecting to our FW1 with the fwpolicy gui. We have Check Point VPN-1 Version 4.1 Build 41716 [VPN + DES + STRONG]installed on a HP-UX Platform. The Management-Module is on the same server. The idea is to manage the FW with a gui from my home office by accessing the FW with ssh, adding the IP-address my ISP has given me to the gui-clients file and connect with the gui. But when I add my IP to gui-clients file and try to connect with gui, the gui says "cannot connect to server". I have a gui installed on a client in my office at work which works fine. Even if I want to add a new client in my office at work, the new gui client says it cannot connect to server. I have the implied rules activated and when I look in fwlog I can see that my request is dropped by the firewall with the rule "any -- firewall -- any -- drop" which is one of my last rules. When I allow the new client to connect with service "FW mgmt" explicitly in a new rule it works fine, but this can't be my solution because I want to connect to the firewall from my home office with changing ip-addresses. So the only way for me is to add the client's ip to the gui-clients file. Has anybody heard about this strange behaviour ?
