Nathan,

We are running IBM Firewall from the AS/400 and we are dumping it. Check out
the announcment today:

On February 15, 2000, IBM announced that the IBM Firewall for OS/400 product
(5769-FW1) and Integration Services for (FSIOP 5769-SA2) will be withdrawn
from marketing effective December 29, 2000. The Q & A fact sheet will help
address the typical questions and answers related to these product
withdrawals. It also references 3rd party alternative solutions that
customers can use to replace the function of the IBM Firewall for OS/400
product.
Customers running IBM Firewall for OS/400 (5769-FW1) and/or Integration
Services for FSIOP (5769-SA2) on the Integrated Netfinity Server will be
supported with their current capabilities until May 31, 2001. However, these
products will not be enhanced. It is recommended that customers running
Integration Services for FSIOP and/or IBM Firewall for OS/400 should plan to
implement an alternative solution. The next release of OS/400 will be the
final release of OS/400 that will support Integration Services for FSIOP and
IBM Firewall for OS/400 running on the Integrated Netfinity Server for
AS/400, the AS/400 Integrated PC Server, or FSIOP.

Subject: Firewall/400 problems, not starting properly and can't view web
interface


Hi,

We have Firewall/400 (V4R3) installed on our V4R3 AS/400 and we have a
problem.

When I installed it there were no messages indicating an error.

I have started the Firewall from the web interface and I think some things
are not quite right even though it doesn’t display an error.

After starting the firewall the *NWS is ACTIVE.

I have 3 lines, 1 x Token Ring and 2 x Ethernet. The Token Ring Line is
ACTIVE, but the 2 Ethernet lines are only VARIED ON. What should I see
here???

The Job Log says all has started OK.

Should there be an Interface for each Ethernet card. One exists for the
Token Ring internal LAN.

Also when I click on the Configuration or Administration icons in my browser
I receive a message saying I don’t have permissions to view this directory
or page. I am logged on as QSECOFR.

The storage space exists, but how many should there be??

Also we have a IPCS with NT installed and in Ops Nav under File Systems
there is a folder named QNTC. Under here is the name of the IPCS plus all of
the disks and shares etc. Should this also exist for the firewall.

Does anyone have any experience with Firewall/400.

TIA.
