SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT-INV What does this mean? I'm having trouble transferring data from a site which I believe is very fast. I've noticed there are messages in the warn log containing the string shown above and also the IP address of the sever in question. It means that some invalid packets received on the external device were dropped by the firewall, and that is the default behaviour for invalid
