Pre-Sales Question: sharing an outgoing VPN connection

[msjfb]

Good day,

We use a specific PC to connect to a remote network with a Checkpoint SecuRemote VPN connection. Whatever work needs to be done has to be done from this PC.

I would like to be able to share this connection (once established), and access the remote network from other machines on the local network. Our network is a simple 10 machine network, connected to the Internet through a Cable Modem.


Can Wingate do this ?

Thanks,

Frank

If this connection is a dial-up one (that is Checkpoint works as a dialer) then it should be OK - quite a lot of our clients use Wingate to share an Internet connection through CISCO VPN because their ISPs requirements.

We have to use the Checkpoint client to establish the VPN connection. It is not seen as a dialup connection, as far as I know. It does not appear, when connected, in the "network Conections" screen of XP.

I have used Cisco VPN clients before to connect to remote systems, and it is similar to Checkpoint: we start a client to connect to the VPN server.

If Wingate works with the Cisco client, would it not work with any other client ?

It depends on how the clients are implemented - I woudl say the best thing to do would be downloading and installing trial Wingate and check whether it works in your environment.
