We are having a problem with the gateway on our HP3000 and running out of
ideas on where to look. The symptoms are as follows: When a connection is
dropped between offices the HP3000 adds the firewall (10.1.1.29) as a
gateway IP (see GATEWAY). This can be disabled but returns when a connection
drops. Our default gateway (10.1.1.1) currently routes all unknown
(external) traffic to 10.1.1.29 (see ROUTER)

What can we do to prevent the HP from picking the firewall as a gateway? We
were thinking of creating an access-list for the router to deny all traffic
from the HP to the firewall (except ftp). Is this do-able? Will this solve
the problem? Will changing the default gateway on the HP from @ to specific
router ip's prevent this?

Thank you in advance for your help.
