RE: [FW1] logviewer slow response

2000-08-14 Thread T . Higgins
I see this performance issue as a potential security risk. (Why ?!) - The log viewer performs so badly that it is tempting to only use it when looking for known issues that have been raised or when testing rather than using it proactively and for regular security reviews. Now, sure, there are

Re: [FW1] drop vs reject...

2000-08-11 Thread T . Higgins
There is at least one occasion when Reject is better - for the Ident service. In simple terms:- It appears to speed up some email systems because they 'expect' to see back some sort of response to an Ident query and a quick Reject will do just fine. (Previous posts detail more) Tim Higgins

Hi Mike We were getting this problem in Win 95/98 and fixed it as per your instructions (thanks) but we have noticed that we get the same problem in Windows NT WS 4.0. Do you have any fixes for this ? We tried the Win 95/98 registry hack (guessed at /DHCP/... as the path) - it didn't

Hi Does anyone else out there use SessionWall-3 (renamed eTrust) after CA buyout ? If so where are you getting FAQs, support, training from ? (neither CA or Abirnet sites have a FAQ for this product yet). The reason I'm asking is that whilst the US appears to be spoilt for choice on

Webtrends seemed to be pushed the most by the VARs when we were looking (but maybe they get a bigger cut on this ?!). Anyway - we went for Verisign SecureView which (it turns out) is poor, not user-friendly and has quite a few bugs so I would recommend staying clear of this at least. I too am

Roman I have just looked at the Telemate web site and it talks about Telephone usage monitoring ! Now, it does say it can report off firewalls as well but it seems to be focussed around phone stuff ? Do you buy different Telemate modules depending on what you want to use it for ? TIA Tim

Hi Maybe the Lucent product is good BUT Checkpoint FW-1 has about 52% or the world firewall market (60% plus in Europe) will have better skill availability and equipment/3rd party add-ons available. I know that this is not exactly directly related but:- For me running Lucent Systimax 110

Mike Your IP release fix worked a treat and cured our "not authenticating" problem caused by SR thinking we were already on the internal network due to the DHCP'd IP addr on the PCMCIA card - thanks very much. Just another question - if your PCMCIA card has a fixed IP address would this cause

Yes - the PCs have a DHCP address when connecting directly into our network and a DHCP address on the dialup adaptor when dialling into ISP. We ONLY have SR bound to Dialup Adaptor - so how can this network card affect us ? - if despite my information you still believe that it is related to

Hi I think you are talking about a slightly different problem here. Basically we have intermittent problems with SR clients (see start of thread in this email) - they won't bring fwall login screen up. On some a ping forces it but this is a bit naff anyway. Now James has kindly suggested
