Hi all,

Lately I had to make some changes in TCP/IP configuration,
actually only changing the DNS servers address for
connections on my SBS (2000) server. After each change
(there had to be 4 or 5, as far as I remember) the
firewall service has been turned off. There was no
question, not even information that this was going to
happen.
As a result, for the first time I made changes all my
subnet was not able to send/receive email, as well as ssh
connections to other (Linux driven) machines, no other
ports (than www via proxy) available, so pretty few
applications had a chance to run properly - for about 6
hours, so that's quite long. Now that I know about the
issue I realize that each change in server's connection
configuration needs firewall startting.
The most confusing is the fact, that there's no
information from the system itself about the action it
takes. I had to find out and solve the problem myself.
The question is: is that behaviour normal? Does the
Firewall service really have to STOP? It could at least
give me some info about it, not to mention about
RESTARTING not STOPPING the service? Or perhaps something
is not OK with the server's config?
