When I select the Install We've had the same situation here. It's simply that the rule base is so complex that it takes more than 15 seconds for your firewall to process and save them. If you look at the fw processes you will (at least on Solaris) see that the process that serves you is using 100% cpu while the save is taking place. The easiest solution is to _not_ touch the 'No response from server' message box for 10-15 seconds to give the server time to completely process the rule base. Then, when you press OK, the normal 'install on...' box will appear. The slightly more compex solution is to follow this advice from CP: --- Solution: How to extend the timeout between the Windows / Motif GUI and FWM () The default GUI timeout for communication between the GUI and FWM is 15 seconds. If this is not enough time, the timeout can be extended in the following way: On UNIX - define the environment variable SERVER_TIMEOUT and give it an appropriate value in seconds. An easy way of doing this is by inserting the setenv command into the "fwpolicy" script, before the line that runs fwui. On NT - Use regedt32, path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/CheckPoint/FireWall-1. Create a variable "ServerTimeout" of type REG_DWORD, and give it an appropriate value in seconds. ------ /Kristian ----------------------------------------- Kristian Ejvind - [email protected] System admin at SPP Investment Management ----------------------------------------- ================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
