Yes, I forgot to add that I did that - running "fw lichosts", it lists the
real IP addresses on the internal interfaces (which is correct)
plus broadcasts from external addresses, but broadcasts only. So it could
not be a problem of a wrongly configured external.if...

Hi,

You have to define your external interface in the external.if file. If it's
not defined, then the firewall will consider every IP address that it sees
as internal.. screws up your licensing big time!!!

Hi,
examining command "fw lichosts" to check how many out of my 25 users are
registered there, I saw that external broadcasts are
listed there, too.
Does anybody have an explanation for that ?
Does it limit the number of my allowed "real" internal users ?

Thanks,
Best regards,

Rainer
