I've tried that, but I found that any changes made to the users WINS settings in DUN apply to all their dialup connections, clearly that's not a good thing if they're dialing an ISP or occasionally dialing other corporate networks.. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 10:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FW-1] SecureRemote/SecureClient on win9x w/ NT authentication.. I have had very good luck with Win9x clients and dialup. There are a couple of things that you need to look at. First is to make sure that the Logon to Network option is checked on the DialUp Connectoid. Second is to make sure your WINS servers are hard coded on the system. There is supposed to be a way to have the WINS servers downloaded and used as part of the Site information but I have not been able to get that to work. Usually, manually adding the WINS servers to the dialup adapter is sufficient but on rare occasions they need to be added to the DialUp Connectoid.

Over the past few months, we've been rolling out Firewall-1, and we're at the stage in the game where we want to start using Secure Remote. However, we've encountered a pretty serious problem. It seems to work fine on WinNT/2000 clients, but on 95, 98, Me, etc.. we're having quite a bit of trouble. The problem is this. A user who dials up to their ISP, can connect and successfully authenticate to the firewall via secureremote. However, this only gives them an IP level connection. What we need is for them to be able to log on to our NT domain, so they can access file servers, Exchange and SQL applications, etc. NT and 2000 clients don't appear to have any trouble, presumably because of these OS's ability to cache credentials and other security differences. Also, 95 and 98 users who are on cable, DSL, or other always-on internet connections don't appear to have any problem. I'm assuming the problem lies in the fact that the users need to first authenticate to their ISP, then authenticate to our domain. Apparently 9x doesn't like this process. Has anyone successfully gotten this to work with 95 and/or 98? Our reseller has been less than helpful, and checkpoint themselves have been of little help so I'm really hoping someone out there can help me with this. Secure Remote is one of the biggest reasons we bought this product, and our difficulties in getting it working have not been received well by management, nor have our reseller's lack of follow through on helping with these problems. It's to the point where it'll be a tough sell to keep Checkpoint in place if this isn't resolved soon. I've tried the usual resources - Phoneboy.com, Nokia's web site, Checkpoint and Reseller support, so my posting here is really a last effort. Our firewalls are Nokia IP 650s, running IPSO 3.4.1 and Firewall-1 SP3. We've tried every available secureremote build with the same result. If anyone wants any further information I'd be more than happy to provide it. Thanks in advance for your assistance. =============================================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ===============================================
