I just installed Checkpoint NG3 FP3 firewall...I noticed that my AOL instant messenger connections drop/reconnect at certain intervals. Is Checkpoint doing this? Is it reestablishing connection because something is timing out?
Also have some web sessions that get dropped like this and I'm wondering why.

Checkpoint either drops or allows, it does not establish connections. Your problems probably stem from an interruption in service.

Checkpoint will leave a TCP connection open for 3600 seconds (1 hour) by default before dropping it if there is no traffic at all and the connection wasn't terminated naturally.

I doubt that Checkpoint is causing the problems you describe.

Are the logs showing anything unusual?
