Hi Duncan,

What's the SecureClient log viewer show? I think it would show something inbound being dropped.

Does the DHCP server update dynamic DNS on behalf of the client or are you allowing each client to do it directly?

An Office Mode problem with SecureClient not updating the dynamic DNS was supposed to be corrected in NGX HFA01, in case you didn't know about it.

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
