RE: [FW1] fw1 and Wn2k

Hi Aeon.   I'd suggest reinstalling your Windows 2000 service pack.   It sounds like an issue I ran into where I added an interface to the firewall after the install. It wouldn't work until I reinstalled my operating system service pack.  I kept getting license errors. Otherwise you may wish to see if there are service pack issues between your Windows and your Checkpint service pack levels.       Thanks   Kimberly -----Original M  essage----- From: Aeon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 09, 2001 10:23 AM To: checkpoint Subject: [FW1] fw1 and Wn2k Need some help badly.  I'm setting up a new firewall (FW1 4.1 sp3 on Win2k Advanced Server).  OS is installed and hardended, firewall is installed and policy is in place.  I'm all set to put this machine online next sunday and now i'm getting tons of problems.  Main two problems are:   1.  Interfaces take about 5 minutes to come online upon reboot which causes the firewall not to detect a license installed, thus a policy is not active.  So when the interfaces finally decide to work, I have to run fwstop and fwstart in order to even log onto the policy.  In the NT event log, i get firewall-1 license errors due to the fact that it didn't recognize the interface the firewall is licensed to.   2.  After I run fwstop and fwstart and I can get into the policy, when I try to push policy (or do an FW STAT on the command line), I get error "unable to open "\device\fw1": the system cannot find..blah blah..."   So I was supposed to put this thing online for testing tomorrow morning, but I doesn't seem like it wants to work for me.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks,   Aeon Hale Accenture
