Hi,

A web client behind the CPFW-1 v4.1 firewall is having trouble accessing
an Active-X object that's used as a login tool for a website.

I can access the site from the DMZ, but not behind the firewall.
https://b2bdev.andersenwindows.com/registration/regsupp.htm

When trying to access the site from behind the firewall, it appears to
download the object but is either unable to run it or it's an incomplete
download.  The log (set to "long") reports nothing but usual http access
from the client workstation.

Just in case there was a specific rule tripping me up, I created an
object for the client workstation and created a rule from that
workstation to Any destination and Any Service to be accepted and logged
(Long).  That failed to solve the problem; the log reports nothing else
besides a http request.

I tried changing from hide-nat to static-nat.  Nothing.
I tried publishing a new IP and static-natting the workstation object to
that.  Nada.
I cleared the browser cache each time.  Didn't seem to change anything.

Is this essentially a problem with the Active-X object being unable to
work through the firewall or is there some other configuration that I'm
overlooking with Checkpoint FW-1?


Checkpoint FW-1 v4.1 is running on a Sun Ultra under Solaris 7.
Clients: Windows 95 and 98 with IE 5.0


Any insights will be much appreciated.


Thanks,
-po
