Long shot but I'd check for updated NIC drivers for
the FW... I saw this kind of issue a long time ago on a custom-built server with
bum drivers... wouldn't expect bad quality from a Dell box, but the situation
was nearly identical. Long file transfers, NBT only, didn't even have to
be VPN related and no firewall on the box... popped in a 3C905B-TX card at the
time w/appropriate drivers and the problem never came back.
Built another system using the same hinky card, had
the same problem, threw in the 3Com, fixed the problem.
Anyway, a shot in the dark, but hey who knows
:)

Subject: Re: [FW-1] Firewall Crash on
transfering files
Just an ftp transfer? If so, are you using the ftp security
server?
-Aaron
Everytime a
Securemote VPN user connects to our office and transfers a physical file
from behind the firewall to the remote system the Firewall crashes to just
a black screen and needs a "push reset button" reboot. If they do anything
else besides transfering files its fine , ie term serv, email, internal
website...etc.
The Firewall
is Windows 2000 Server SP2 , NG FP3 without Hotfix1, running on a Dell
OptiPLex GX110 with 256meg RAM . The firewall is about 40 Rules and
I am using a VPN Accelerator Card
