Wow....another new forum...I will also be patrolling this one quite often...thanks JP

For those of you who have read any of my posts over the last couple of months, you might have noticed that I have quite a bit of knowledge about firewalls. Now I have a forum all to myself ;)

Feel free to ask me any FW questions, or really anything networking related for that manner.

My firewall specialties include:
*Checkpoint
*Cisco PIX
*IPF
*IPTABLES/IPCHAINS
*Raptor (now Symantec Enterprise Firewall)
*Just about any personal firewall
*And probably more I can't think of right now

[gold eagle]

hehehe. Not all to yourself. ;)

Ok - Ii didn't know you were a pix guy. How do you like it and comment on good and bad.

:)

[micael]

My suggestion: start up a new thread with this subject, I think it would be a nice start for this forum :D.

[iNViCTuS]

I agree..why don't we start up a new thread...and I will try to help you. List out system details, like Checkpoint version, OS, patch level, and anything else that could help...

[DjM]

Thanks Guys, I haven't got time right now to dig up all the details, but I will post the question again in the future.

Hey that is pretty nice,
May I ask you a question rite now?
What do you think the best firewall is for personal use? (Your personal Favorite)

[KorpDeath]

Sygate personal firewall.........

[iNViCTuS]

Sygate is not bad...I had some issues with it though..so I use Tiny

[dinoman]

Is tiny a free personal use?

And..I too am glad for this forum...it can and will be very informative I'm sure, after all it will deal with security issues at the core.
What I would like to see posted is attempts and blocks found by folks. such info could be very informative and instructional. Like for instance I get one from sygate...

02/12/2002 19:44:12 Allowed ICMP Outgoing 224.0.0.21 C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERNEL32.DLL

I posted this in another area but still didn't understand why it does. Do a tracert on that IP.

[iNViCTuS]

yes....Tiny is free you can find it at:

Hey Guys, either of you worked with the WebTrends Firewall Suite running against a Checkpoint Firewall?

Perfect timing for this question! I'm setting up this exact combination this week. Love to hear how you solve your situation. I'll let you know how my install goes.

[gold eagle]

4Check - cool.

Isn't this new forum great.

[4ChecK]

the forum is very cool.

About Sygate, is there a free version of version 5 pro? Cause the versions 4.x where always free for personal use but they gave probs with Win2K workstations when wake-up from stand-by. So i donwloaded the version 5 and tested it on a box, now it seems that you can only use this version for 30 days? cause it's the pro, but I never wanted the pro! I only needed a fix for my win2K error... so perhaps I will stick with version 4.x or Tiny.
Any comments?

[uraloony]

I personally like ZoneAlarm. However, Tiny and Sygate are good also.

I've been using the trial version of SPF 5.0 for over a month. It asks me every now and then if I want to register, but I just tell it to go away.

[Shangrila]

I would answer your question akanicknick, but since us black people shouldnt consort with you and your superior race, I'll share my knowledge with those who arent as superior as you. btw **** YOU!!!!

I've got the Sygate Personal Firewall Pro 5.0 and when the 'update signature' failed, I wrote them an email asking when updates go out for signatures and new versions (which might have your 2000 fix) and they replied back saying they haven't set up the patches/signature updates yet and will be done soon. Don't know when that really is though.

Sygate 5.0 is pretty good although I'm having a problem every now and then with debug.log and tralog.log having 'too little space allocated'. Since windows handles all 'swapping' and space allocation, I'd think it wouldn't be an issue but I guess it is.
