I'm currently running Checkpoint Firewall NG fp2 on a win2k server w/sp2. Everything seems to work fine but with certain websites. For some reason the firewall drops the last POST packet coming back to the firewall.(used fw monitor to check). Users are unable to check AOL mail and unable to search from certain websites, like and database like lexis-nexis. This only happens when browsing with internet explorer and NOT with netscape.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Scotch
 
Are you sure it isn't the IE options which is causing this? Check to ensure the active x components are enabled.
Also, what version of IE are you using? I've found some weird problems with IE6, some pages don't display.. I hear it's due to Java.
As for the firewall logs, very strange. Maybe a device is sending out corrupt packets?!!?
 
After many calls to tech support turns out it was floodgate causing the problem the service was stopped and checkpoint works fine now waiting for a fix from checkpoint.
