HI there
I have Firewall-1 NG Feature Pack 2 installed on a Win2K Server.
Clients internally operate on a 10.0.0.X range - and the firewall has 2
interfaces - one Internal, one External.
Clients are hidden behind the firewalls external address - (This is
necessary due to the fact that we only have 1 useable IP address - and we
are not publishing any services to the Internet)
What I am seeing is as follows...
Client tries to telnet to an external server on a fictitious port ie.
www.ibm.com  on port 1.
the client gets a connect.
ie Client issues SYN, Receives SYN ACK, and then replies with an ACK - as a
result, the client thinks that it has a connection.
Having done some packet captures, I can see that Firewall-1 is actually
forging the SYN ACK - and (not surprisingly) www.ibm.com is not replying on
port 1 with a SYN ACK.
Firewall-1 is configured with SYNDefender turned off - both on the firewall
object and under the global properties.

Do you know if this is a bug - or have I mis-configured Firewall-1 / is
there a script file that can be editted?
Any feedback would be most appreciated...
Many Thanks...Rowland
