Well, after the dell problem, I have yet another problem related to firewalls. We managed to get the firewall running with a few minor problems (lost arps under w2k anyone).

So its all up and running. However, when I try to use securemote I keep being told that the communication failed even though I logged on with the correct password and username. It logs me on but then disconnects.

However if I do this with a nildram dialup connection, it works fine with no problems. Anyone encountered this before ? Any ideas ?

Much appreciated if anyone can help me fix it.

Hi Gary,

Managed to fix the lost arps (known issue with hotfix that worked) Strange thing was that SP3 was already installed. Just trying to fix the Securemote feature.

 

What does the log say?

Now there you have me as I havent got access directly to the firewall from the adsl connection because the s/w is at work. I will look first thing tommorow and post it. Thanks for the help btw

 

You mention ADSL ?

Are you on a shared ADSL connection ? (ADSL "router") or a single machine on the ADSL.

If you are using NAT on the router, you need to "tweak" your firewall to allow for securemote and NAT.

My secureremote client shows on the CP-FW1/VPN1 link as it's internal 192.168.n.n address.

This caused a few scratches of heads initially as the company internals are 10.n.n.n addresses ........

Firefox, what options do i need to look at. At the mo ive got udp encapsulation on, but thats about all

 

We recently enabled VPN on our FW1 NG install on a Dell servers.

What a major pain that was. Ended up using network packet sniffers to see why the VPN wasn't working. To cut a long story short, we solved it by using the first network interface that Win2k enumerates as the external interface.

We use a PE2450. Onboard NIC has now become the external interface.
