Re: [FW-1] FP3/Win2k Crash problem

Title: Message
Duda,
 
First, did you ever harden your firewall? you'll get memory leak if you ever hardened your firewall "too tight".
Second, think about SP2 and all pre SP3 hot fix. Don't install SP3 since it's very buggy.
Thrid, go to firewall logs to see what you can find just before the Crash.
Four, how many CPUs you have on the firewall box?
 
I ever set up a NG FP3 firewall on a windows 2000 server+SP2+ Pre SP3 hot fixes. It has been working perfect since two month ago.
 
Good Luck,
William

Subject: [FW-1] FP3/Win2k Crash problem

I have CP FW1 FP3 running on a Dell Optiplex using Windows 2k Server SP3. This system is both enforcement and management. Every so often (more often lately) the system crash's to a black screen. The black screen is not a gui black screen but more like your holding the reset switch on the cpu down. Nothing appears in the Event Viewer, no dump files...a reboot simply fix's this. How can I diagnose this issue?
 
The system meets CP's min requirements and doesn't see much traffic. Its about 40 rules. This system is definitely not over powered.
