Topic: firewall config question

[steve]

I have a SME server 5.1.2 and a checkpoint firewall 1
When I nmap the SME server, it comes back with a long list of ports that are open and closed.
When I nmap the checkpoint, it does not give out this info, says all ports are filtered
Also, when I ping the SME it responds, whereas when I ping the checkpoint, it does not.

How can I stealth the firewall so that it does not respond to pings and does not give out a list of every ports state.

thanks

Configure the server as private server-gateway.  Here is the link below how to do this.
