Default Re: cannot add rule on checkpoint FW-1 R62

get a command prompt on the firewall and type the following commands:

fw stat <======= this tells you what policy is installed at the moment I expect it to be "Initial Policy"

cplic print <===== this tells you what license is installed

"failed to connect to the module" normally means that SIC is not established - and its a long time ago since I did a stand alone installation, but I thought that setting up SIC was not required on a STAND ALONE configuration like yours.

but lets check anyway:

Double click up your FW object in Smart Dasboard, on the General Tab:
1) is Firewall selected?
2) select the communication button and select TEST SIC - does is say "communicating"?
