Hi all,

I have a bit of an odd problem that seems to be related to SecureClient (NGX 
R60 Build 191 on XP).

When a laptop that has SecureClient installed and a simple desktop policy 
active (allow all outbound, drop all inbound) is connected to the company LAN, 
it picks up an IP address from the Windows 2003  DHCP server but doesn't update 
the active DNS registration so that if you ping the machine name it, the DNS 
sever replies with an old address. 

The problem goes away immediately if you stop the VPN-1 SecureClient - that is; 
the DNS entry is updated.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Duncan
