Re: [FW-1] Incoming NAT for SecuRemote users

There are two ways of donig this. In CheckPoint NG, you can use a feature
called Office Mode. This was available as an upgrade from the base
software installation and it requires that all of your components, GUI,
Firewall, and SR client be running NG.

I have not played with Office Mode much yet, but the way it works is that
the SR client will contact the firewall, and through a process similar to
DHCP it will be assign a firewall, DNS server, and other information. The
client then uses these values when connecting to the LAN.

The other way of doing this, and the only way that works with versions
before NG, is to use an IP_NAT_Pool.

Enable IP_NAT_Pools in the firewall policy properties window. Then, define
an IP subnet or IP range with the IP's that you want incoing clients to
use. This should be a part of the network attached to the firewall that
the clients will access. Next, click on the firewall object and under the
NAT or VPN tab (I forget which) enable IP NAT Pools and select the address
range you defined earlier. Finally, you must add a published ARP entry for
every IP address in the range with the firewalls MAC address so that
return traffic can be routed back to the client through the firewall!
Unless you have static NAT's defined somewhere else, local.arp will not
work on the Windows platform as it will not read the file. CheckPoint
released a seperate ARP utility which you might prefer to use (Also,
local.arp is not working under Windows 2000 thanks to Microsoft I
believe).

I prefer the IP NAT Pool method for hiding connections because I am still
not familiar enough with Office Mode to be comfortable with it. Please
keep in mind that when using IP NAT Pools, _ALL_ VPN connections are
NAT'd, not just SR connections. If you have Site to Site VPN's, these will
be NAT'd as well. You must make sure to take this into account when using
this feature.
