Re: [FW-1] 2 external IP's

[Dai, Wien]

Hi Rosa,   The 2 external IP's won't work. I have seen several people explained to you.   My suggestion is to contact your ISP who provides you the internet connection, asking them to route both the old and new IP addresses for you. We had done this before and that worked until the switch is over. Not sure every ISP can do that, but I think this is an easy way to solve your problem.   Thanks,   Wien -----Original Message----- From: Fiorenza, Rosa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 8:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FW-1] 2 external IP's Hi, I have a big problem. We work with Checkpoint 4.0 on WinNT (we haven't upgrade the fw because we don't have a backup and we cannot stop the service...) and now we have to change our "transport provider" (I don't know if it's the right name). So we have to change lines, router and public IP addresses, but we don't know how to manage the transition period, while both providers are working (... we can't stop the service ....), waiting for the complete passage to the new "transport provider". We were thinking about setting 2 external IP addresses to the Network Adapter. Does it work? And, if answer is YES, how can we configure it? Thanks in advance Rosa
