I have no idea what they mean by "touched" except maybe in the head. I just installed the software, created the network objects and rules and various settings, and plugged the cables in to put my FW between the internal router and the internet. Worked fine (except for settings). Users did not even know it happened, nor did sysadmins. Neil -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- At 12:43 09/17/97 EST5EDT, you wrote:
Hi All, I've got a meeting with our Firewall Installers on the 29th. Got pulled into as a result of 'centralizing' our computer/technology staff and creation of a helpdesk. The upshot is this. We have been apprised by one of the staff (Originally selected installation/Firewall) and was told that every device behind the firewall would have to 'be touched' for anything to work. It almost sounds like a complete rework of the network setup/standard. We were told that all IP addresses would have to be changed. Somehow I get the impression that this is the installers idea, and I'm not quite willing to by into it. I feel that it should be possible to 'plug-in' any properly configured firewall (with the exception of the proxies) and not have to reconfigure machines. Am I wrong?
