Regardless of what Check Point MAY say about DNS running on a FW box, best practices suggest that a Firewall machine run NO other services and use the minimum OS configuration you can get away with. Check Lance Spitzners EXCELLENT discussions of these concepts at http://www.enteract.net/~lspitz for further info. However, if for some reason your particular network setup REQUIRES the FW box to run DNS, then please give further details. Is the Service actually in a 'Stopped' mode ? Are there errors recorded in the Event Viewer logs ? Could this be merely a mis-configuration of the DNS server itself ? -----Original Message----- From: Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of BY Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 5:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [FW-1] DNS Stop Running caused by FW Checkpoint NG Hello there, My contractor has made many attempts but failed so far to install the following environment for my company:- Attempt No #1 OS: Windows 2000 Server (Standalone) with DNS Server installed FW: Firewall Checkpoint Next Generation Attempt No #2 OS: NT Server with SP5 (Standalone) FW: Firewall Checkpoint 4 with SP8 They have tried both methods but DNS Server seems to be stopped by Firewall Checkpoint application. Does anyone have this problem before and if so can you recall how it has been fixed. I have never recommended to have both DNS & Firewall Checkpoint running on the same box but apparently they says this is Firewall's recommendation. Anyway, I will look at this as my phase 2 project. The objective of my Phase 1 action is to upgrade both hardware & Firewall Checkpoint application environment. The current environment of my firewall is as follow which is not installed by the same contractor unfortunately:- OS: NT Server with SP5 (Standalone) FW: Firewall Checkpoint 4 with SP3 Any clues from you guys would be appreciated. Thank You.
