We had the same sets of problems here. We got past them by using AUTOEXECNT from the NT resource kit and good old autoexec.bat to do a ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew on every boot. Then, we trained the users to always "shut down and restart" when connecting/disconnecting from the network. This works great for all users who do dial-up, but users who do SecuRemote over a DSL or cablemodem connection need to also "kill" the SecuRemote executable in the system tray. We don't have any statically assigned IP's, but in your case I would make those PC's DHCP clients and then put an address reservation into your DHCP server so they always get the same IP. Good luck!

I was hoping someone had the same issue, and can give me the work-around or solution. We have users who work in the office and remotely with their laptops. The have PCMCIA Nic's that either have a bound IP or a DHCP assigned IP. After installing SecuRemote, I can only get the VPN authentication by releasing the IP address of DHCP clients - this can be a real hassle for people who are technically challenged (read: all users). However, statically assigned clients are a different story - I need to disable or remove the card altogether to get it to work. How do I get around this issue? ============================================================================ ==== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ============================================================================ ==== ================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
