You are not supposed to use FW1(4.1) on NT SP6. The last
NT SP that is recommended by Check Point is NT SP5.

Subject: RE: [FW1] Erratic Performance on NT
Are you running out of physical memory? We have the same
problem with NT4.0
SP6a FW 4.1 SP3. But one of
the fw.exe is eating up all the memory. Most
of
the time we can do an FWSTOP/FWSTART and that fixes the problem....for
a
day or two.
I've had a couple people stat the same thing... Anyone
know where we can go
to try to trouble shoot
this?? What's the easiest way (if any) to find out
which security server is associated with which fw.exe??
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a memory leak...
Any other
apps running on this box?

Erratic Performance on NT
We are witnessing erratic performance from our FW-1 system.
Before we give
up completely on this platform, can I
ask if any of you have suffered from
(and hopefully
corrected) the following.
We are currently running FW1 v4.0 build 4055, on NT4/SP5, but
the conditions
we notice have been with us through
various builds of FW1 since v3 and
various NT service
packs. Our firewall hardware is configured with three
interfaces. We use NAT for some of our internal hosts, and also those
in our
DMZ. We also have three VPN's set up to our
sister companies. These are
using FWZ encryption. We
do no content checking or SMTP relay checking.
Those
functions are carried out elsewhere.
From a reboot, the firewall will perform very well with
transfer rates
between 50KB/s and 60KB/s reported by
Internet Explorer for downloads. The
system will
perform like this for anything between a few hours to a maximum
of about five or six days. At the end of that period,
performance through
the firewall is excruciatingly
slow, with transfer rates such as 300
bytes/sec
typically reported by Internet Explorer.
Once the firewall gets into this state, only a reboot of the
system will
resolve the problem. Stopping and starting
the firewall does not solve the
problem.
Interestingly, the firewall hardware (a 266Mhz Pentium II with
256MB RAM) remains equally responsive throughout. Only
network throughput
seems to be affected. There are no
consistent entries in either the FW1 or
NT logs to
indicate a cause for this. We have a box outside of our firewall,
on our link to the Internet. When the firewall is performing
poorly,
throughput from this host is as normal, so the
link appears not to be at
fault.
Can anybody give me a hint as to how I can resolve this
issue?
Regards,
Paul
