The only thing you can do is to move your linuxbox out of the DMZ and put it
on your firewall machine, but of course this will be a security issue for you.
Wht should be done is to go over the ChecklpointFW firewall settings and fix
that it can't access a passive server (server behind a firewall), for this
problem will not occure only when trying to access your linuxbox but many
other sites too.
