Re: [FW-1] Firewall and RH 7.0



Hello,

The problems Guy was referencing to in previous mail was the following:

- hundreds of ports remaining in the CLOSED state forever, ending up in a
system crash.

This occurred only with the Thunderlan NIC driver which is by the on-board
NIC used by Proliant 1600 systems for example.

The solution there was to use another NIC (NC3120 for example) using the
EhterXpress driver: eepro100

An interesting pointer for hardware/drivers info:
www.linuxhardwaredatabase.com

Best regards,

Patrick Dewilde

Graziano,

   I know that one of my colleagues experienced some strange things with
 a Linux (but 6.2) and CheckPoint combination, it ended up to be a problem
 with the NIC driver, since we updated them no problems anymore. Sorry
 but he is absent for the moment and can't provide you more details.

Met vriendelijke groeten - Bien à vous - Kind regards

The box is Compaq DL380 and I think it has Intel 100Pro.
I will schedule the kernel upgrade "asap" and then I'll let you know.

Hi,

i mean what brand and type. There are nics that work fine and nics that
don't work very well (Nic = Network Interface Card).

I think u should do this:

a) Upgrade the kernel to the latest version supplied from RedHat.

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.0/en/os/i686/kernel-smp-2.2.
19-7.0.8.i686.rpm

b) If that not works try the non-SMP kernel:

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.0/en/os/i686/kernel-2.2.19-7
.0.8.i686.rpm

c) If still no progress be sure to check that your nic's are listed in
Checkpoints HCL. I recomend Intel 100Pro or 3Com90x. They always work fine
on linux.

best regards.
