The only thing you have to make sure is that your internal routers know to
send traffic destined for the Office Mode range to your gateway. If your
default route is to send everything at the gateway, you're already covered.

It works, at least on FW-1 R55 and SecureClient R55.  We use Office Mode
and
it solve numerous remote access problems.
You must make sure that the IP Pools you define for Office Mode do NOT
conflict with the IP addresses in your
enterprise domain.

My enterprise domain uses  10.x.x.x, and my IP Pools for Office Mode use
192.168.24.x
I would suggest you use address ranges that are not routable accross the
Internet and does not overlay with your
private network.

P.S. another feature of Office Mode is that you can pass internal DNS and
WINS servers settings to the SecureClient during logon!

Read the R55 VPN-1.pdf chapter 10, setup is fairly simple.

Hope this helps!

Joe

WOW!  (sorry, I'm a bit late to the discussion)

Can somebody, ANYbody, confirm that Office Mode actually does solve the
original poster's problem (of being to access the private lan via VPN from
the Hotel in the following setup):

Hotel Subnet A (192.168.1.xxx) --> internet --> FW --> Private
Lan(192.168.1.xxx)

We've been "just living with" the problem of traveling and being at a hotel
that conicidentally uses the same subnet address as our private lan.
Because SecuRemote thinks you're within the encryption domain, it doesn't
encrypt or authenticate (and thus no VPN access).

We've just upgraded from V4.1 to NG AI R55, and I've got our users still on
Secure Remote for now.  I've gotten Secure Client running with Office Mode
and Visitor Mode (and all the other attendant goodies like IP
compression) running for test purposes... But didn't realize it would solve
the above problem.

Can somebody please confirm that they actually seen Office Mode solve this
problem?  If so, I'll be soooo totally thrilled and I'll be an instant
hero,

Peter
