WOW!  (sorry, I'm a bit late to the discussion)

Can somebody, ANYbody, confirm that Office Mode actually does solve the
original poster's problem (of being to access the private lan via VPN
from the Hotel in the following setup):

Hotel Subnet A (192.168.1.xxx) --> internet --> FW --> Private
Lan(192.168.1.xxx)

We've been "just living with" the problem of traveling and being at a
hotel that conicidentally uses the same subnet address as our private
lan.  Because SecuRemote thinks you're within the encryption domain, it
doesn't encrypt or authenticate (and thus no VPN access).

We've just upgraded from V4.1 to NG AI R55, and I've got our users still
on Secure Remote for now.  I've gotten Secure Client running with Office
Mode and Visitor Mode (and all the other attendant goodies like IP
compression) running for test purposes... But didn't realize it would
solve the above problem.

Can somebody please confirm that they actually seen Office Mode solve
this problem?  If so, I'll be soooo totally thrilled and I'll be an
instant hero,
