Hi,
I had some experience on the same problem, before it runnig well after 1
month it slow, reboot after 1 week it slow , reboot after .... .
I call Checkpoint tech support you can try following:
*** NT 4.0 SP6a
Here is the document to increase kernel memory.
NT
==
1.Run regedt32 (the registry editor)
2.Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FW1\Parameters
3.Select from the main menu Edit -> Add Value
4.The value's name is Memory, and the data type is REG_DWORD
5.Enter the new amount of kernel memory (in bytes)
6.Reboot
Also I upgrade Memory from 256M to 512 M.
Hope it help
Dannie
