Re: [FW-1] Checkpoint FW-1 and ADSL



Title: Message
I have a client that did the same thing, using Bellsouth's ADSL implementation.
 
The only way we could get this to work, seeing as Bellsouth would not allow a static IP on the external IF of the FW, was to put a NAT PPPoE device (in this case a Linksys cable/DSL router) in front of the FW, static NAT to a private IP, then license the FW to that private address.
 
We have to reboot the router approximately once every two weeks due to Bellsouth forcing a reconnect.  Usually works without any other hassles, but it's REALLY kludgy...I would highly recommend that you tell your client up front that ADSL is not a good solution for this kind of connection, unless they can get a static IP from the DSL provider.
 
Good luck!

Subject: [FW-1] Checkpoint FW-1 and ADSL

Does anyone have any experience with FW-1 and ADSL.

I got a client which wants to connect a site via ADSL using Checkpoint as a FW. They're running RedHat 6.2 with ADSL but now they want to install FW-1 on it. Anyone know if it wil work?

TIA.

Greetz Vincent.
