Re: SOHO3 Firewall: License exceed, too many connections

It's true, I exceeded the number of allowed IPs. Since then (an hour

My question is when Sonicwall SOHO3 will figure this out. Is there
some way to manually delete IPs from a table? Frustrating to
wait...feels open ended...

Thanks.

Yes, just reset the firewall either manually (reset button or power
supply connector) or via the web interface. The way the SOHO3 works is
it remembers every IP that hits the firewall. Some alternatives are to
set the range of IP addresses that are connected to LAN in the setup.
If you have systems that do not need internet access, you can also
manually configure them and do not give them a default gateway. This
will reduce the number of IPs that the SOHO3 sees.

I too run into this problem. At a remote site I have limited the
systems that have the default gateway set to the firewall. In the
office where I spend most of my time, I simply reset the firewall when
it coughs at Too Many IPs.
