Unable to access Checkpoint's policy editor with Nokia IP

I am assuming you are talking about the Secureclient policy server and not the firewall policy that is uploaded to an enforcment module from the SmartCenter

Did you include a rule in your firewall policy that allows the Windows machine to communicate with the Nokia over the specified ports

What does the Checkpoint logs show when you try to access the Nokia?

Hi,

No I did not include a rule in the firewall policy. How do I modify the firewall policy? I'm fairly new to this.

Thanks for your help.

Now I'm always getting "Authentication failed" whenever I try to access the machine with the policy editor.

On the Nokia, run

cpconfig

Then you can specify the GUI Client IP addresses that will be allowed to connect.

use "fw unloadlocal" command from console mode. This command will dispatch the policy you installed on Nokia box and you can access to the web page or firewall to do whatever you want

Make sure you unplug the Internet line from the Nokia before you run "fw unloadlocal". That command removes the security policy entirely as well as disabling IP routing between the interfaces. While it does allow management connections, it renders the Nokia box itself unprotected from Internet attacks.
