Hi Robert,
My firewall(v4.1) is currently running on NT.Due to the fact that the
initial installation of firewall is in c:\winnt\fw1\4.1 directory and my c
drive partition is only 2GB,that's why i want to redirect the logs to my d
drive instead.But when i try out the advice given in the FAQ,i found that
the logs are redirect to c:\winnt\fw1\4.1 instead.No doubt i have already
created a directory FWLOG in d drive and i have already added the entry in
the registry,but i'm still getting the same result.
Cheers
