You might want to increase the TCP timeout or change the parameters to allow
non SYN packets to create and entry in the state table.

NO.  There are well known vulnerabilities that are then opened.  Check
http://www.enteract.com/lspitz and read Lance's explanation of the state
table before even considering allowing non SYN packets to create an entry in
the state table.

hi neil 

thanks for reply
TCP timeout is default ( and as before at old release ) with 3600 sec
but the problem occurs within 1 hour.

currently i have no access to cp ng only version 4.1
is this the same parameter in fwui_head.def as in 4.1 ? 
#define ALLOW_NON_SYN_RULEBASE_MATCH

To expose the vulnerabilities that are on Lance's site you would have to
have the following things:
1. A rule to allow the traffic.
2. The hosts that are in the above rule would have to be down.

What is going to happen is that a NON SYN packet will go through the
rulebase and if it makes a match then it will go into the state table. If it
does not make a match in the rulebase then it will not be entered in the
state table.

Yes - I was having the same error message for rules that worked in 4.1, and
CheckPoint support suggested I get the hotfix.  The knowledge base verifies
that (at least HF1) fixes this problem.
