Re: [FW-1] Firewall Errors

[Christopher Ferraro]

Title: Message

i had this happen to me last night.  no fw changes on either end of the VPN and my remote office (the side with the Win2K, CP2K) loses all connectivity to the main office.  Meanwhile the main office can still access everything on their network.

 

What SPs are you all running on your fw's.  I've got SP5 on my 4.0 firewall and SP3 on my 2K firewall.

 

Also, which end of your VPN loses connectivity ?  For our setup, it is always the 2K side and never the 4.0 side.

 

To fix the problem last night I:

1.  reinstalled the policy on both ends -- no result

2.  changed the shared secret  -- no result

3.  rebooted the remote firewall -- connectivity restored 5 minutes post reboot.

 

Hopefully together, we can nail down what's causing the issue and fix it.

Still have not, although it seems to be working we have had some intermitant problems with losing all conectivity... Not sure if it is related.

I would check the NIC driver for Win2K as well as would try to replace the card

Help,       I was wondering if anyone out there has had the same issues as me.

After we migrated from NT4.0 fw 4.1 to Windows 2000 server fw 4.1 on our firewall,    the following error is coming out on the event viewer every second.

I have applied service pack 3 and 4 and the error keep coming.

FW1: ndis_allocate_packet: Cannot allocate new packets

Can anyone give me a few pointers as to where to look!

Thanks

Laz
