Hey lackie,
OK....here is the story.
I have perfromed an upgrade export on the win2k box...then copied the file (I called it backup.tgz) to the NGX box. I then ran the command as you mentioned previously and this is the outcome.....

[Expert@cpfw1]# ./upgrade_import backup.tgz


The 'Import' operation will stop all Check Point services (cpstop).

I am gathering that I am going wrong at the export stage......but I have looked over the NGX CD and there doesn't appear to be any export tools on it.....

Any ideas?
