SOHO3 Firewall: License exceed, too many connections pk 05-22-2007

It's true, I exceeded the number of allowed IPs. Since then (an hour
ago) I got rid of some of the IPs that had previously been connected.
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.

It appears as though resetting the firewall is the only way to do this.
It'd be nice if I could just pick individuals off as I went. Oh well...

or you install some simle cheap nat router between sw and all workstations that
have no special rule/nat etc., then it
will see only one address.
depends on your setup of course.

The best way is to create object groups and give access to them.
This will secure the network from roaming users and Box will not get
connectin overloaded.

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.
