Re: fwtk and ftp from behind of fw-1

I seem to remember this problem happening between Gauntlet and FW-1. I
think that FW-1 wasn't/isn't following the RFC spec exactly.

First, make sure that you are running the latest patches for FW-1 (3.0b
build 3064). Also look in the FWTK archives; I seem to remember someone
posting a patch for this problem in late Jan or early Feb 1998.

Is it me or is Checkpoint the Microsoft of the firewall industry?    ;-)

nuqneH,

I've noticed a strange problem: when i try to ftp from behind fw-1 to
fwtk ftp-gw (fw-1 is set up to allow all outgoing connections from that
machine), data connections hang. I've noticed the same thing does sometimes
happen if i connect to other ftp servers, bot only ftp-gw hangs constantly.

fwtk 2.1 on freebsd 2.1.7.1+ipfilter 3.2.9, firewall-1 on NT (can't
remember the version, it is not my firewall). ftp client is windoze'95
generic.

Is it fwtk or fw-1 problem?
