You can try to put a firewall to work without routing activated (i think it doesnt work)
In Windows 2000 you have to activate IP forwarding (routing) and be carefull with routing tables. I think this is true to all OS, but you can try it. Ricardo Marques -----Original Message----- From: Olaf Lange [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: segunda-feira, 2 de Junho de 2003 16:52 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FW-1] Enable/Disable IP forwarding/routing Dear all, as I found there are some inconsistencies in public literature regarding to Firewall-1 installations. Perhaps somebody can explain what's right :-) In "CCSA Next Generation Check Point Certified Security Administrator Study Guide" (ISBN 0-07-219420-0 from McGraw-Hillx) he says "In Solaris, IP forwarding is enabled by default and should be disabled." As well the processing of source routed packets should be disabled. But in Sybex "CCSE NG Check Point Certified Security Expert Study Guide" the authors writes "....be sure the machines properly route packets between each network interface. Be sure that IP routing/forwarding is anabled in your OS and the routing tables are correct." What's the truth ? I am a little bit irretated :-( Thx Olaf ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================= ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================================================
