RE: [FW1] unknown established tcp packet



Did anyone get any reply on this issue from Checkpoint? I didn't realize
this problem until someone in my office told me that their telnet sessions
keep getting frozen up after less than 1 minute. We have many VPN
connections for email replications to many countries and I can see now why
users are complaining that their mails are always delay. I have since then
done the necessary changes to revert back to prior SP1 of handling TCP
connections. But is this a BUG? Or it is supposed to tighten the security
loop hole? Does the 3600s (1 hr) TCP session timeout setting really works?

I have been trying to get this answer for weeks.  I have run into this
very 
problem, packets being dropped that should not be dropped and the log 
displaying the "unknown established tcp packet" error.  The only solution 
coming from Checkpoint has been to revert to the old behavior which I 
believe was changed in the first place to fix a potential 
vulnerability.  When I have asked Checkpoint support "If I do this wont I 
open up a vulnerability?" they acknowledge it does.
