20.8 Error Log
The Error log displays information about serious errors that affect the functionality
of the entire firewall. WinRoute administrator should check this log regularly and fix
detected problems as soon as possible. Otherwise, users might have problems with
some services or/and serious security problems might arise.
A typical error message in the Error log could be: a problem when starting a service
(usually a collision at a particular port number), problems when writing to the disk or
when initializing anti-virus, etc.
Each record in the Error log contains error code and sub-code as two numbers in paren-
theses (x y). The error code (x) may fall into one of the following categories:
• 1-999 — system resources problem (insufficient memory, memory allocation error,
etc.)

etc.)
