This may have nothing to do with your problem but... What happens if you ping the firewall by name (on the box itself)? Does the IP address match what you have defined in the firewall object? I had the same issue on a W2K FP3 test box, where the binding order of the NICs was wrong and no matter what was in the hosts file, the IP address of the box always resolved to the DMZ interface IP, not the external IP I had defined in the firewall object. The policy wouldn't install, and the only thing it would tell me was that it failed, no details as to why. Fixing the binding order fixed the problem.
