^\*^ Connection settings checklist:

1. DNS server(s) must be configured and reachable.
2. Default Gateway / relevant routes must be configured and reachable.
3. If the Proxy server is used on the network, it should be configured and reachable.
4. If proxy server is not used then make sure to remove it from Gateway/Management objects under General Properties \> Topology \> Proxy
5. In specific scenarios, explicit FireWall rules have to be configured and installed.
6. Refer to [sk83520 - How to verify that Security Gateway and/or Security Management Server can access Check Point servers?](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk83520).
