Hi all
That's the satus and the problem !
My company owns a class c IP scheme spited into 2 subnets
We do not use dynamic IP addresses , we use static legal IP addresses
the trusted 212.205.162.0 : 255.255.255.128
Gauntlet is installed on a Compaq Proliant 400. It has two network cards.
Inside network interface = 200.200.200.126 : 255.255.255.128
Outside network interface = 200.200.200.253 : 255.255.255.252
Router's address = 200.200.200.254 : 255.255.255.252
The scheme 200.200.200.x is not the real one it is for explaning
purposes...
The enabled proxies are :
HTTP -Trusted Network
FTP - Trusted Network
NOTES - Untrusted Network
(this is a plug proxy that allows everything from outside to reach the
specific Lotus Domino Server IP 200.200.200.2 : 255.255.255.255 on the port
1352)
Everything else is disabled from the POLICIES TAB. There is no other extra
configuration. All the other settings are left as they are by default.
The problem is when I am trying to reach some FTP sites , through my
browser the firewall stops working.
Unfortunately there is nothing written in the log. The internal and
external network adapters drop dead.
The result is that no one can browse , there is no data traffic from/to the
internet until gauntlet's computer restarts. The computer is working
properly it is not crashed. Only Gauntlet seems to be dead but not crashed
when the problem occurs :
No traffic (HTTP, Telnet, SMTP, etc.) is able to pass through Gauntlet. If
you use web browsers to ftp to internet through Gauntlet there is no
traffic.
No pinging is available to the inside (Trusted) interface from internal
machine, and no pinging is also available to the outside (Untrusted)
interface from any machine outside Untrusted)network?
ACTIONS TAKEN
I reinstalled SP4 and hotfixes
I uninstalled and reinstalled Gauntlet vs 5.0 (with no patches)
Result : Problem not solved
I installed SP5 (without hotfixes)
Uninstalled and reinstalled Gauntlet vs 5.0 (with no patches)
Result : Problem not solved
Today as I was trying to find out what is happening I noticed that if I try
to FTP a site through Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer vs 4 there is
no problem Gauntlet works fine on the contrast if I do the same thing using
Internet Explorer vs 5 (which is currently installed on my desktop
computer) then the problem starts.
I know it was a huge email but I wanted to give you a good description
I would really appreciate any help
Thank you
George
