FW1 on NT and setting the external interface

["Thomas Crowe" <thomas.crowe () bellsouth net>]

I have a NT 4.0 server running FW1 and keep getting messages about not
enough client licenses. I have traced this to not having the external
interface set. However when I create and edit the external.if in $FWDIR/conf
I still get the same problem.  I have tried all of the following formats for
naming the interface:  The NT name (Cpqnet01), the FW bound name
(FW-Cpqnet01), the name assigned to it in the gateway properties (External),
I believe I even tried the IP address. All to no avail.  Another part of
this is that I ma protecting my internal LAN from multiple external
wans/lans so how do I also assign multiple external interfaces in the
external.if
