I'll give you the short version first, because this will be a lengthy try :
1. i have never tried to edit the exp file and then re-import it, but could probably be done if you only wanted to change LAN/WAN IP addresses or some other basic setting. Rules are more complex regarding numbering, new services and so on, so maybe it's impossible but you can decide for yourself if its worth a shot. 2. the exp file is 64 bit encoded so you need to get a decode tool from tucows or somewhere else. 3. next you must take the decoded file and change the IP addresses to the other Sonicwall int it. Then 64bit decode and re-import in the new Sonicwall. 4. didn't work ? Take the decoded file and turn it into a tab separated file. Change the parameters required ant load it into the new Sonicwall using swconfig.exe from Sonicwall. If you dl it from their FTP site, there's a neat example file, follow the syntax strictly, but you will end up with a BIG tab separated file. Send this to the new Sonicwall with swconfig and you are ready to go. I don't think you will be able to actually create new rules this way. It looks pretty complex in the exp file, so i didn't bother give it a try. /jesper -----Original Message----- From: Andrew P.

I would like to block about 50 blocks of IP addresses and don't want to have to create 50 rules. Andrew P.
