Re: [FW-1] Problem with Static NAT in a lab environment



Hi Fernando,

Im running Checkpoint NG on NT4 SP6a (Test LAb environment) on both
firewalls. Sorry fogot to mention os versions etc

The strange thing is that it works in one direction and the logs confirm NAT
is working. After checking both firewall rule bases and object config's
everything looks correct. Still get the_flags 2 message_info_TCP packet out
of state error.

CPNG does automatic arp so that the gateway answers arp requests for NAT'ed
address's. I will still check the local.arp file and go over config.

thanks for your assistance


Marc

Hi Marc:

I don't Know what versions of FW-1 are ayou running and what OS versions you
have on both firewalls.

Menanwhile when I do an static NAT on FW-1 I do the following steps:
Create objects in FW-1 and nat rules (please verify that NAT rules are not
hide by another NAT rules)
Create a route from server's public address to server's  internal address on
FW-1 machine.  (I have tested on Winnt 4.0 and versions 4.1)
Create an entry of  local.arp file with the server's public address and the
MAC address of the FW-1 External interface. (the local.arp file is on the
FW1DIR$\state\ directory)

NT:

Create a text file named local.arp in the $FWDIR\state directory. Each line
in the file should be of the form:

<IP Address> <MAC Address>

where <IP Address> is the gateway's external interface and <MAC Address> (in
the format "xx-xx-xx-xx-xx") is that interface's MAC address. For example,

199.203.73.3 00-a0-c9-45-b5-78

I suggest you that reboot firewall machine after this change. but I'm not
shure if this step is a MUST.

another test I suggest you to do is to place a computer on the public
network, so that you can really test where the problem is and test if really
NAT is causing this symptom. (This computer does not have to be behind any
firewall)


Hope this help
