Question : ICMP Fragmentation

I have a number of networks connected via VPN through Netscreen firewalls.  On our head office firewall I get a number of alarms as below:

"ICMP fragment! From 10.1.10.14 to 192.168.11.8, proto 1 (zone Trust, int ethernet1). Occurred 1 times."

The packet is being sent from a Windows 2000(10.1.10.14) Server to a Windows XP client(192.168.11.8). These are coming through every few seconds. I have looked at adjusting the MTU size, but still get the error.

Is this the 2000 Server that's causing the alarm or should I be looking at the firewall? Any help would be appreciated.

Answer : ICMP Fragmentation

If there is only the firewall between these 2 boxes then yes, the fragmentation is happening in the firewall.

Second question, definitely NO. There is no such thing as *stupid*, you learn eventually. Not everybody knew everything when they are born :-)

Cheers,
Rajesh
