If you're just interested in the solution, scroll down to the TLDR.

I was recently helping out a friend do some networking labs (something I did on a regular basis almost 15 years ago using Dynamips and a whole bunch of text files). So I started delving into current solutions and man oh man, have things evolved.

We now have access to a product called EVE-NG. According to their website, it is "...The Emulated Virtual Environment For Network, Security and DevOps Professionals"

What EVE-NG allows us to do is to have a full framework for managing emulated (think running Cisco IOS images) and virtual (think running Check Point in a VM) devices.

I've only just started to scratch the surface but already I can see that, at the very least, this is Dynamips on steroids 🔥

But rarely do things go smoothly. After following some instructions on how to get the Check Point image going in EVE-NG, I managed to get it up and running.

But no matter what I did, I could not connect to the Check Point Gateway's (CPGW) web interface from my Windows 11 browser nor could I ping the IP address (see Fig. 1).

Oddly, though, I could ping the ip from the EVE-NG virtual machine (see Fig. 2).
