Re: [FW-1] CVP Security Server problem



Jeremy,

We are running the exact same thing as your downgraded version but on less of
an NT box.  While we do have the occasional problem site, most do work and
realplayer does upgrade.  We have HEAVY Internet usage and it is proving to be
no real load on the NT box (Single processor, 512 Megs).  Have you tried
setting the "trickle" feature on in Viruswall?  Normally the Trend Micro
Viruswall accepts the downloads and holds them until it has the whole package
and scans it for viruses.  Sometimes this causes time outs in the browser or
client software.  With the trickle feature turned on, it releases a small
amount of data to the client (you can set amount) for an amount taken in, this
keeps the connection alive.  At the client you'll see the download going real
slow, then all of a sudden (when Viruswall has all the info and has scanned
it) it just dumps it all down to the client.  Your client goes from 5% to 100%
in a matter of seconds (approximate :-) )

There is one thing to look out for with trickle turned on though.  When a
download is happening, code is being downloaded to the client before all of
the package is checked at the Viruswall box.  If a virus is detected it puts
up the display and stops the download.  However, it does not delete the code
that has been trickled from the client, if the portion of the code that had
the virus made it to the client AND the user double clicks on it AND they have
disable the desktop Antivirus, they could get infected.

For the video and audio type files, you can have the Viruswall not scan them.
So far no one has found a way to write viruses into them, YET!

Subject: [FW-1] CVP Security Server problem

        I am trying to implement a Checkpoint firewall with AntiVirus
with limited success. Here is my configuration.

                Firewall
        ---------------------------
      Nokia IP530
        IPSO v3.4.1-FCS5
        CheckPoint Firewall v4.1 SP5


        Viruswall
        --------------------------
        Windows 2000 SP2 with all Windows Updates
        Dual 1.266Mhz Processors
        1Gig Ram
        72 Gig Disk
        Interscan Viruswall v3.52


        Everything seems to work great. I can browse the web, downloads
are checked for viruses. They are even cleaned or deleted if they
contain viruses. Exactly how it should work. Now here is the twist.
Whenever I try to view a quicktime movie on the web It doesn't work.
Also if I try to upgrade my software such as Real Player, Quicktime or
any other software upgrade method that uses port 80 to connect, it
fails. Even media player doesn't work. The logs claim they accepted
everything but it still doesn't work.

        I know I'm not loosing my mind. I had this working at another
site on a Windows NT Checkpoint v4.0 with no problems. So far I have
built another Viruswall server, running with the same version of the
software running with the same version of windows 2000 "SP2 with
updates", on a desktop computer this time, as I don't have another
server available to me at this time. When I try to do any of the things
like watch quicktime, update my RealPlayer Software or install Quicktime
using the interactive download method, they all fail same as before.
        I tried eSafe thinking it was a Viruswall problem but it did the
exact same thing. I downgraded to Checkpoint SP4 and IPSO v3.4 but that
didn't help either. What am I doing wrong?
