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? ---DNS works fine before enabling the firewall client. Is the machine part of the domain if you're using one? ---No domain , standalone server SOHO network... Can the machine correctly resolve the ISA server? ---before enable FW software YES, after NO. Can you perform 1000+ pings without packet loss on a local network (ping -t1000 isa.server.name)? ---Haven't tried that :) 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 ? ---Lose of network functionallity , sometimes complete ,other times I can browse the net. If I shut down the machine with the FW client active then when it starts up, I lose the ability to grab an ip from the DHCP server. Does the client detect? strobe between working and not or ? --- The client will show that it is config'd to use the isa server by name then after a period it will fail... so Yes I guess it does strobe.
