My win 2k laptop, will not work with the firewall client software. It has before, but failed a few weeks ago. I have formatted (many times), installed a new drive, obtained a new win 2k Pro copy, replaced the PMCIA lan card. Yet it still will not respond. I have used the laptop for a week or so now with out the firewall client, but now I need it. I have a second laptop with XP on it, it has no problem with the firewall client. I have a second drive with Win98 on it, no firewall client issues. My main laptop dual boots to win98, no firewall client issues there. You've done the full DNS testing? Is the machine part of the domain if you're using one? Can the machine correctly resolve the ISA server? Can you perform 1000+ pings without packet loss on a local network (ping -t1000 isa.server.name)? I think that they are the major issues - connectivity. Can you give us feedback as to what happens when you install the client? eg: lockups / system death or just lack of working ? Does the client detect? strobe between working and not or ?
