Re: [FW-1]



Title: Message
These two sites in particular use a reverse-DNS lookup to confirm you are in the US.  I would venture to say that this isn't a problem with your firewall, but like most places these days, your ISP does not have reverse DNS zones configured.
 
A good way to test this is to try from the external subnet OUTSIDE the firewall, and if you still have no luck, try doing a DNS query on the PTR record for your IP. (e.g. for IP address aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, search for ddd.ccc.bbb.aaa.in-addr.arpa)
 
Good luck!

Hello list:

 

I am unable to FTP from HP and IBM.  I am able to connect but never receive the login prompt to ftp.hp.com or ftp.pc.ibm.com.  Well, I don't time out I just never get the login prompt.

 

This has become to be a real pain in the rear.  I am using Checkpoint FW-1 4.1 SP5 on a Windows 2000 SP2 Firewall and Management PC.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.
