Hi
I still have intermittent problems with NT domain login from our Windows 95
Secure Remote 4153 clients to our FW-1 4.0 SP4 (NT 4.0 SP4) firewall.
Sometimes fw login screen does not appear at all.
I have tried:-
a. A full hosts files on the clients
b. An lmhosts files with 1 entry:-
ip_address_of_PDC<TAB>"PDC NETBIOS_NAME<SPACES padded out to 15 chars>
\0x1b"<TAB>#PRE
c. Entering INTERNAL IP address of our WINS into DUN settings
This is really screwy - the existing setup sometimes works and sometimes
not (for no apparent, logical reason)- it appears particularly bad when
trying to use a dialup ISP other than the one that provides our leased
line. Occasionally I can force an authentication by pinging one of our
internal IP addresses - but this doesn't always work and is not a realistic
answer anyway.
Now - the only thing I haven't tried is:-
Setting up NAT for our WINS and using the External IP address instead of
the Internal IP address in the DUN WINS setting - naturally I'll have to
also add a one-2 one route on the fwall from ext. ip to internal ip
Before I try the above I'm looking for some comments.
TIA
Tim Higgins
