Here are my thoughts.

A) split tunneling is disabled. (in this case all traffic, is destined down the 
VPN tunnel). This is specifically designed to prevent your type of scenario 
and/or other attack vectors brought on by trojans, viruses, rootkits, etc. 
Usually modification of routes will automatically drop the connection.

B) even if split tunneling is enabled (allowing you to connect to corporate, 
while using the other line for internet), this "other" network will need to be 
defined as a network on the vpn endpoint, otherwise at best, anti-spoofing 
rules will drop the packets. At worst, the firewall will route the packet to 
the destination and then back out to wherever its default route is assigned. 
You would really have to NAT the traffic to the whatever IP is provided by vpn 
server, for traffic to flow.

I don't know if this is a cost saving measure into establishing a Site to Site 
VPN back to corporate. I am not even sure if secureclient will work with win2k 
server. I understand there is a scaled down version of Checkpoint that allows 
you just to use the site to site VPN piece instead of paying for the usual 
checkpoint fw-1 license. That would really make more sense.

Hi to everyone!
Has ever enyone of you tryed to configure a PC with SecuClient as a router, in 
order to route packets coming from/to another network attached to his second 
ethernet through VPN (by his primary ethernet card)?
Obviously FW1 assign to the clinet always same IP address, associated by the 
same user, in Office Mode and the PC is a W2000 server with 2 ethernet card and 
routing enabled.

Thanks in advance!!

Gianluca
