SecuRemote on Windows 7 64bit

Hi everyone,

As we all know, SecureClient / SecuRemote is not supported on Windows 7 64bit.

However, I found a post on Checkpoint site in order for the VPN client to work on the 64bit OS. This can be done using Windows Virtual PC and XP mode.

I tried to connect with SecuRemote from my HOME to my OFFICE network but I was not completely successful.

The topology of the 2 networks is:

HOME network: LevelOne router with IP 192.168.4.1 which is connected to a Safe@Office 105. The entire HOME network is attached to the Safe@Office and is 192.168.6.0/24.

OFFICE network: LevelOne router with IP 192.168.2.1 which is connected to a Safe@Office 500. The entire OFFICE network is attached to the Safe@Office and is 192.168.1.0/24.

I followed the following steps:
1.   Install Windows Virtual PC and install Windows XP Mode
2.   Create 2 NICs (hardware based) to the Virtual Machine
3.   Install the Secure Remote client.
4.   Configure the network adapters:
NIC1 (Outbound with VPN)
IP: 192.168.6.121
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.6.1

NIC2 (Inbound from Local)
IP: 192.168.6.122
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: NONE

Disable Secure Remote on "Inbound from Local"
Enable Network Connection sharing on "Outbound with VPN" (Might have to edit "Inbound from Local" to change its IP address back, since Windows will try to assign a 192.168.0.0/16 address to it.)

5.   Enable IP forwarding:
Open RegEdit, and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters
Set:   IPEnableRouter=1
Reboot the VM.

6. I disabled Windows Firewall both on HOST and VIRTUAL machines.

7.   Add static route to the host machine:
On the host machine, route secured networks through the Virtual Machine:
route add –p 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.0.0 192.168.6.122 metric 1

When I run SecuRemote from the VM, I can ping every IP on my OFFICE network. The connection is successful.
I leave that running and try to ping 192.168.1.1 from my HOST machine. I have Request time out but can see the SecuRemote icon (golden key) from the VM taskbar moving so I know I am close on finding the solution.

Any help please?

Hi,

If your gateway is running R65 HFA70 or higher, you can use Endpoint Security VPN R75 (SecureClient Next Generation). It supports 64 bit and is the replacement for SecureClient.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried using Endpoint security but it didnt work. SecureClient didnt work either.

The only VPN client that i can work with is SecuRemote and therefore I need to find a solution in order to work.

My gateway is Safe@Office 500 with firmware 7.0.33x

The solution I am describing should be working... I think I am missing only a small point!

Any help on that??
