I had the same problem on our firewall. It went away when I followed CP's recommendation for hardening the NT 4.0 server that FW-1 was running on. Part of the process is to remove or disable the server, workstation, and computer browser services running on the server. That will fix your netbios problem. Ironiclly enough, I just posted a question to this list about how to harden a win2k machine like you're using. The recommended links in the responses so far are excellent. >>> [email protected] 04/04/02 03:01PM >>> Your issue (aside from the fact that you may want to just kill all NBT stuff happening on the firewall) is likely that your policies are being applied on the Inbound direction only (policy properties). Packets originating at the firewall are, by definition, outbound, whether going to the Internet or an internal interface. You can take the approach of changing your policy property to Eitherbound, or you can add a rule that says something like FW->Any->NBT->Drop with "Install On" set to "Src." If you take the latter approach, log the rule initially so that you can verify that it is dropping the traffic. It should do the trick. Obviously, while NBT is the issue you hit this on, what you're seeing would actually apply to any service/protocol if the firewall were the source of the traffic. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Jignesh Pathak [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 12:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [FW-1] How to stop FW machine to send nbname from itself? Hello: We have installed FW-1 v.4.1/SP5 on Windows 2000 SP2 at our client location. We have AnyàAnyàNBTàDrop rule base to drop nbname, nbtdatagram packets and FW is doing so. But FW logs shows that FW machine itself is sending nbname packets to internet side. How can I stop this? Is there any performance issue?
