Dear Huiqi,

your fw-monitor syntax 'fw monitor -e "accept src=x.x.x.x;" -o debug.cap' is 
the same as mine.

Normally, when you don't see packets with lower 'i' it indicates, that no 
packet had arrived at the firewall inbound interface.


I am not absolutely sure, but when you use SecureXL some packets are bypassed 
the FW kernal and you won't see them in fw monitor.

Is SecureXL active?

Best regards,
Christian

Dear Christian,

Finally got round to this again.

I did run a fw monitor -e "accept src=x.x.x.x;" -o debug.cap (it doesn't
like the other options).

The debug file doesn't contain any lower 'i'  (or do they only show up with
the above options?), but there are a lot of RST and retransmit errors.
Does that indicate an ISP issue?

The problems are only intermittent: for example, when they try to send an
email, it takes perhaps 3 attempts (for some users).

MSN always fails though (again for some users).

I am very tempted to replace the firewall hardware (it is a IP130
currently) as the next step.

Thank you for your help so far.

Huiqi

Dear Huiqi,

do you see a drop or reject in Smart View Tracker?


Had run run "fw monitor"?

fw monitor -m iIoO -e "accept src=X.X.X.X;" -o debug.cap

Now every packet from your source is written to debug.cap. You can use
Ethereal to view the packets. If you only see a lower 'i' for the MSN
connection, the packet ist probably dropped by Firewall.



You can also try to run:

fw ctl debug 0
fw ctl debug -buf 5000
fw ctl debug -m fw + drop
fw ctl kdebug -f > drop.txt

Now reproduced the problem. Now, you can see all dropped and rejected
packets, even if the are not loged to Smart View Tracker.


Stop the debug with:

CTL+C AND fw ctl debug 0

May you can find a hind in the text-file for a drop/reject reason.

Best regards,
Christian

Hello Christian,

Many thanks for the quick reply.  As it happens yesterday the ISP assigned
us a new IP address (with less than a day's notice) and after that the
first problem (accessing certain websites) has gone.

I did try however to set up a new PPPoE with a MTU of 1400 but it hasn't
helped with the two issues (MSN and Outlook email).

The IPSO version is 3.8 BUILD039, so it is older than the affected version.

Will appreciate any other suggestions.

Thanks!

Huiqi

Dear Huiqi,

I can be a problem related to MTU. From IPSO 3.8-build 049 can lower the
MTU. Nokia suggest a value of 1400 (Nokia Knowledgebase: Vantive
Resolutions ID: 1128905).

Hope this helps,
Christian

Betreff: [FW-1] Strange problem

Sorry I can't be more specific on the subject line!

Recently we have set up a new branch office firewall, with a Nokia IP130,
running NG AI R55p, IPSO 3.8, with ADSL connection (PPPoE) to the internet.

There are about 10 users in the office who are connected a switch which
connects to an interface on the Nokia.

We have set up VPNs between that office and other locations, and that works
fine.

The problem is:

Since the firewall install, 5 or 6 laptops have these problems:

   Accessing certain websites (e.g., microsoft.com, and some other sites,
   e.g., www.sina.net)
   Accessing MSN
   Accessing Hotmail
   Intermittent problems accessing pop3 email using Outlook Express

2 users don't have any of the problems above.  And the curious thing is
that these two users were in the office with their laptops when the
changeover occurred, though there is a desktop in the office at the same
time but that has the same problems above.

Before the firewall was installed, the switch was connected directly to the
ADSL router, and there were no such problems.

The firewall logs all look fine: outgoing requests from the problem laptops
were shown to be accepted like the rest.

I'm really lost as to what might have caused these.  Any ideas would be
much appreciated!

Huiqi
