OK, this is still not working, so here is what I have actually done

1. stop and started the Checkpoint services ON the management station!

2. Once I have don this I CAN telnet to port 18190 from BOTH the management station & from the INTERNET to it's natted address

3. The error I get when I try to connect locally is
"connection cannot be initiated make sure that the server "10.10.2.2" is up and Running"

& the error from the internet is
The connection has been refused due to one of the following SmartCenter Server Certificate problems:
1.The SmartCenter Server's clock is not setup properly
2.The certificates issue date is later than the date of the SmantCenter Server's clock.
3.The GUI clients clock and the SmartCenter Serve's clock are not synchronised.
4.The certificate has expired.
5.the certificate is invalid.

OK, I'm desperate now! We have now way into Checkpoint for them to answer this, so I'm really stuck & obviously we can't manage the firewall at all as it stands! Anymore pointers would be greatly appreciated

The only other anomaly, which may or may not be relevant is on the CPCONFIG tool. The "Apply" button is greyed out. Even when I tried to add a new administrator all I could do was hit the "OK" button & not the apply! Maybe a red herring?

HELP!!!!SOS!!!!!HELP!!!!!SOS!!!!!HELP
