Hi
It�s the total number of ip addresses (except the ones on the external
interface) that the firewall "sees", which is the number of nodes protected
by it, what it computes as hosts to be under license, not only the ones
actually going through it. Obviously with netbeui on the internal pcs, the
firewall can see through broadcasts sent by these pcs to advertise on the
network, many machines, in fact any machine in your lan. So either you
upgrade your licence or put a router with two interfaces between your
internal network and the firewall ,which filters netbeui, as it is a non
routable protocol and also make nat for any internal ip address to the ip
address of the router interface connecting to the firewall, so that any
internal machine is seen by the firewall as a unique ip address.
regards
jch
