    Hi J.,

    I guess I'm missing something. If the spoofed source address was 10.10.10.10
    and it originated from the internal network, then it would have had to get
    to the Check Point firewall via some route you have set up or the default
    route. When a packet hits a Check Point interface and it's source IP is not
    from that segment as defined in the anti-spoofing topology, Check Point will
    drop it. In fact I monitor spoofing drops daily just to see what's going on
    in the world.

    "After a reboot of both the router and the Linux server" - What router? The
    one between the Check Point internal interface and your LAN?

    Since this involves a SofaWare box, you probably would do better to post it
    on the Discussion Groups at www.sofaware.com . Those are official support
    forums and they do monitor and reply to postings frequently. You also might
    want to try the 5.0.92 firmware as that's what is current.
