Hi, the following posting from Josef was very useful when I had an issue with Legato Networker. /ho > >as already mentioned on the list the problem is that checkpoint (>4.1sp2) >raises an initial tcp timeout of 60s after syn,syn/ack,ack. When there's one >packet more on the wire this timeout is set to 3600s. >The specified legato networker connections just do the syn, syn/ack, ack and >wait quite some time (>60s), after that the firewall drops the next "ack" >packet. > >To solve your problem you have up to 3 options: > >1. Not recommended: change the way fw-1 handles tcp handshake to the old >style (search for reason: unknown established tcp packet). This affects all >connections and moreover it's not stateful inspection (IMHO). >2. Change the tcp keep alive timer of the backup server or client to less >than 60s. >3. Change objects.C or set an fw-1 kernel parameter in order to increase the >tcp_initial_timeout. > >Regards, >Josef > At 14:54 25.09.2002 +0200, you wrote: >I have a problem with Legato Networker. >I have a backup machine running to two networks.
