Karen,
Are you duplicating the IP addresses as well? If so, do you have the
backup on a test network? The FW-1 acts real funny if all the defined
NICs are not up and running.
Just a thought.

Subject: [FW-1] Problems creating NG FP3 backup
We have a Windows 2000 machine with NG FP3 in production and are trying
to create a duplicate backup to put in place in case the other ever goes
down. The gateway and management are on the same machine. I have
rebuilt the backup box 3 times as there are varying ideas about how to
create the backup machine. Each time I was not able to open the Smart
DashBoard-got an error message that the "Connection cannot be
initiated. Make sure the Server <> is up and running". It is.
The backup is a duplicate of the production machine as far as hardware,
name, IP addresses and which NIC they are associated with. So far I have
(1) moved over FW1 directory-didn't work (2) moved over FW1 and CPShared
directories-nope (3) rebuilt (because I have been told once the policy
editor is opened the certificate is created so it must be rebuilt). .
.with virgin copies of the FW1 and CPShared directories saved to
overwrite if necessary (although I do not know if this will make a
difference if once the policy editor is opened it's time to redo the
machine again). Any suggestions? I have been told what I am trying to
do may not be possible because of the certificates that are created in
NG. Thanks.
