Re: [FW-1] SecureRemote/SecureClient on win9x w/ NT authenticatio n..



Well, it doesn't appear to be so much that their authentication isn't going
through, but that they aren't even prompted for it in the first place.  The
logs don't show any drops, and we're allowing all protocols from tunneled
clients just to be safe for the time being.

As for LMHosts, we'd prefer to use WINS as our information changes somewhat
regularly, and LMHOSTS files can get to be a management nightmare.

Hi,

Have you looked at the firewall logs to see why (I assume) NT domain
authentication doesn't go through?

Does the logs show that NBT packets are accepted and allowed through?

Do you have LMHOSTS file in your Win9x clients that thell them who is
the PDC?

Regards,
Stuart
