Hey brother,
To help you even further, I tested windows server 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2025, EXACT same issue, whois window shows up, says wait for 2 seconds, then nothing.
Things I tried:
-installed latest windows updates
-tried web smart console
-tried portable smart console
-also tested running console from R82 folder in C;programfiles x86/CheckPoint//smartconsole/R82
-tried compatibility mode
Nothing...so honestly, my only LOGICAL assumption is that this simply does not work on any windows server "flavor" : - )
Andy
Best,
Andy
