I am relatively
inexperienced with FW1.
However, I was
given the task of migrating the firewall to new hardware while changing the OS
from WinNT 4 SP6a to Windows 2000 SP3.
All the while
upgrading Check Point from 4.1 sp6 to NG FP3.
I followed Check
Point's instructions and had no problem switching servers or
platform.
I was able to
upgrade to FP2 without any issues.
When
I upgraded to FP3, the firewall seemed to be working
fine.
Then after around
4 hours later the firewall stopped working.
I checked the
Event Viewer saw no issues and the firewall did not show any
problems.
I chalked it up to
some anomaly and rebooted.
It once again
worked fine, then 4 hours later it stopped working.
So in my test
environment I set up a PC to refresh a website automatically every 5
minutes.
Now my logs show
the PC going to website every 5 minutes.
However, when the
firewall stops working after 4 hours, my logs show no http traffic from that
point on.
No drops, No
accepts, even though the PC is trying to refresh the
site.
The only thing it
shows are DNS request as accepts.
However, the
PC can not resolve anything with DNS.
Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Mark
