Andreas,

   Well yes and no, yes because even if you have more then 250 hosts but
 have only a license for 250 hosts, the Firewall will still work, but will
 be slowed down due to the warning messages you continuously get. I say
 also no, because you are illegal with regards to the license agreement
 of CheckPoint.

   What I would do :

        1. do a fw lichosts and see if you find strange things

        2. to clear that table proceed as follows (explained in the FAQ 58
on
        Phoneboy : http://www.phoneboy.com/faq/0058.html )

        fwstop 
        Remove $FWDIR/database/fwd.h and $FWDIR/database/fwd.hosts 
        fwstart

   Don't try to do this by rebooting the Firewall it has no effect, you need
  to fwstop/fwstart it. 

Met vriendelijke groeten - Bien � vous - Kind regards

Subject: [FW1] FW1: only 256 internal hosts allowed



hi !!!

we are running Firewall-1 4.1 SP 1 under Windows NT SP 5 with a localnet and
DMZ. Everthing works fine. 
There just one thing that I don't understand: After starting the
Firewall-Service the following error messages occur in the system event
viewer

FW1: FW-1: setting external interface to xxxx
FW1: FW-1: only 256 internal hosts allowed

The problem is that we have only 170 internal hosts.
external.if is configured correctly.

I tried to solve the problem starting the Firewall without any network
connection. The messages even occur. 

Are the messages only information messages ?

Thanks

Andreas Ament
