late response, but don't just unplug the cable, plug it into a spare hub... Erik Goldoff Systems Manager The HoneyBaked Ham Company 678-966-3320 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Laercio_SantosJr@Intervale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 11:03 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Cable Disconnected X FW1 IP tied license Message Hi All, When we are re-installing CheckPoint FW1 in a new installation of Windows 2000 and we are having some dificulty because the licence is tied with the IP. So if it is a new Server and my actual "in use" server uses the same licence so the same IP, I have to install the FW1 disconnected to the network and make all configurations with no LAN connection. My point is: In Windows NT 4.0 I used to install FW1 disconnected to the network and have no problems but in WINDOWS 2000, when we unplug the cable, the FW1 Service starts but the Police Editor don't... We've observed that when the cable is unpluged the "ipconfig /all" answer to that LAN Adapter is "Cable Disconnected", no IP nor specific just defined Route to that Network ID appears in "route print" command... How can I make those values remain even though I disconnect the cable ??????
