Coexistence of Checkpoint SecuRemote and Netscreen VPN clients

[nickpark]

I'm trying to get the Checkpoint SecuRemote and Netscreen VPN clients coexisting.

However, when both are installed, I cannot access my SecuRemote machines. (I can authenticate to the VPN gateway server though!?)

Uninstalling Netscreen, fixes the issue.

Think...

Both clients are binding to IKE, ESP and NAT-T, (plus their proprietary NAT-avoidance ports) so how can you expect them both to work at the same time? Compare it to Apache and IIS on the same box listening on port 80 - what happens?

Apologies for the earlier causticity - what you need is a solution, I guess.

Both Netscreen and Checkpoint gateways support L2TP over IPSec, so you could ditch both clients and just use the integral W2K/XP VPN client to connect to either firewall, assuming that the admins of the latter are co-operative.

If so, alternatively you could set up the SSL Extender on the Checkpoint box, uninstall SecuRemote, VPN into the CP with SSL and leave the Netscreen client on for IPSec.
