You need the 2.1c version to run FW-1 on NT4.0.

The product works ok on NT4.0, The only real hassle is having to have a dos
prompt open to set up your NAT, if required. The logs also take a while to view.
But overall its simple to configure, easy to install etc, however, watch the way
you set up the NAT, the documentation in the book is wrong. If you are doing the
NAT, I have some Docs from a Checkpoint rep outlining how to do it correctly, I
will forward it on to you if you so desire. IMNSHO the N.T version is comparable
to the UNIX version in mosst areas.
