My Checkpoint NG install book states
on page 72 to enable IP forwarding
on NT. They make no mention of what
to do on W2k.
On W2k one can configure routing with a
registry hack:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
IPEnableRouter=1
or by configuring "routing and remote
access" service. (has problems?)

On newsgroup cp.products.firewall-1
I found: (might have to cut and paste parts of this)

"You don't have to enable IP forwardnig. Checkpoint will do it for you. The
logic behind not enabling IP forwarding is if the Checkpoint software
crashes and IP forwarding is enabled, then the OS will forward packets to
your network making it vulnerable. Thats why its safer not to enable ip
forwarding and allow checkpoint to do it for you."
So I am ask the forumn, what do you do?
On W2k, do you configure Routing and Remote Access, or
do the IPEnableRouter registry hack, or do you leave
routing turned off?
Thanks.
