Look in the archives for ike_use_largest_possible_subnets.  You might've
set that value to false with FP3 using guidbedit.exe, but FP3 didn't use
the value.  In AI, the value is used and will break tunnels because the
Checkpoint is supernetting the networks in the VPN.  If your VPN
contains two or more contiguous networks (192.168.0.0/24 +
192.168.1.0/24 + 192.168.2.0/24 +
192.168.3.0/24 = 192.168.0.0/22), the Checkpoint will represent them as
1 supernetwork in the IKE negotiation.  If you change the value of
ike_use_largest_possible_subnets and push a policy it might fix the
problem.
