Thanks for all the replies, I've managed to get NAT working on the VMware's,
this definitely simplifies things (I hope it won't be too difficult to
implement).

My one remaining question is on product selection / pricing:
-Can I buy a self-managed VPN-1 edge with Office Mode, without a
SmartCenter?
-If not, what's my "cheapest" alternative?

Thanks,
Yossi

Hi everyone,
I have an unusual setup in one of our branch offices, and I can't figure
out whether Check Point's VPN gateway will work for me.

The entire office is NAT'ed behind a local Linux Firewall right now (
192.168.x.x).
There are multiple servers internally that all have local IP address (
192.168.x.x).

Engineers that work in this office have laptops with local addresses, at
home they either use the same addresses, or wireless (non-conflicting
addresses).

Each engineer has Vmware machines on their laptops, all of which also have
addresses in the local range (192.168.x.x) so that when they're in the
office, everything works well.

What I want to happen - I'd like to use SecureClient on the laptops, and
have the engineers connect from home (VPN) to the Firewall, and then use
their VMware machines to access internal resources (like CVS servers, FTP
servers, etc). I want to avoid forcing the engineers to change networks in
their VMware machines every time they come home...

My questions:
1. Does Office Mode support this configuration? Will I need some more
tweaking with the local IP ranges?
2. If the answer to (1) is yes - what is the "smallest" Check Point VPN
device that will support this? (Sofaware, VPN-1 edge, or full blown VPN-1?)
3. If the answer to (1) is no - what should I change on this LAN in order
to make it work both in and out of the office with the VMware machines, with
Office Mode?
Thanks in advance...
Yossi
