Check Point VPN and local wireless network

I need to use Check Point VPN to access a client's remote network. Now I cannot access my wireless printer or AirPort base station, even when I have disconnected and shutdown the Check Point client. I have removed the Check Point startup items from LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons in order to restart without Check Point loading at start up.
When I start in Safe Boot I can access the printer, but not with a normal start up. How can I find the other startup items that are interfering with my local wireless network?
Am running Mountain Lion.

Thanks for the reply.
I found an installer in the Library as suggested.
The installer did not install successfully.
I trashed the installer, repaired permissions, downloaded the software again and was able to install successfully.
I will not be able to test the connection until I am off the network but I am better off.

Apple tv and a local wireless network

i'm trying to set up my apple tv and my macbook pro, but i have no internet connection where i'm at currently. i assumed you could simply set up a local wireless network, so i hooked up my netgear router and my macbook recognizes and well...the apple tv kinda freak out when the wireless router is on. it doesn't always respond to the remote. when it does find the wireless signal, it frequently resets itself and then stalls out again....when i turn the router off, the apple tv functions normally....with no content from my macbook though of course......
any thoughts?

is there a better router to go with when trying to set up a local wireless network with no internet?
I use the Apple Airport Extreme. I love it, but many others like D-Link, Netgear..... I would look for an N router if your Netgear isn't. What is your Netgear hooked up to? That might be the problem. I also think that you might want to hook up the ATV2 wired and then restore it, and reenter all of the user and setup info afterward. It may not be the Netgear at all. If you restore the ATV2 and it still does it, then you can look at the Netgear and what it's hooked up to. No sense spending money if what you have works well. If you don't have Internet (I just noticed that statement above), I think you'll have issues with the ATV2. It has to have a way of connecting and phoning home to Apple, etc.

Can I use airport express to create a local wireless network that my apple tv can connect to for AirPlay/mirroring in student halls/dorm without Internet connection

Hi I was wondering :
Would I be able to make a local wireless network using airport express that my apple tv can connect to which in turn is connected to a projector with hdmi in so that I can mirror/AirPlay from iPhone pad and mac

will the Airport Express allow you to log onto a hotel wireless network, and broadcast a secure wireless network in your room for your wireless devices, like the Ipad, Iphone, etc.?
The bottom line with a single AirPort Express is no.
The AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless network when the network is being provided by another Apple router.
As you might imagine, it is extremely unlikely that that the hotel network....which no doubt uses professional wireless access points provided by a manufacturer of commercial systems.....would be compatible with an AirPort Express.
In many years of travel domestically and internationally, I cannot recall a time when a single AirPort Express would "extend" the signal provided by a hotel's wireless network.
However, if you had two AirPort Express devices handy, you might be able to configure one to "join" the hotel network and provide an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort Express, which would be configured to "create" your own "private" wireless network.

How to view channels used by other local wireless networks?

I use a wireless airport network in my office, with my Airport Express (802.11g) base station about 10 feet from my iMac. I get a lot of interference (from other networks or cordless phones) and despite interference robustness being on, my airport signal gets dropped fairly often -- and with it, I lose my Internet access and wireless printer.
There are about 15 other local wireless networks (owned by other businesses). I thought I might improve my interference robustness by switching my wireless channel to a channel used by the least number of other networks.
Now, I seem to remember running into an (Apple) app somewhere that showed these local wireless networks with their channels. But now I can't find it again, so I can't tell which channel is least used. I hope someone can help me find that app or functionality again!
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion; I checked it out and found some questionable reviews on VersionTracker for iStumbler so I'm hesitant to jump right in (does it still fill up the Console log?)
In any case, I seem to remember finding channel information using some other application or preferences pane or something already on my system, but now I can't remember where. Is there any app that comes with OS X that shows channels on local wireless networks? I can't find this feature in Airport Utility.
Thanks for any assistance.

Check Point VPN

I successfully installed Check Point VPN software and was able to connect but the policy update hung up.
I elected to uninstall via the uninstaller option in the application.
The uninstaller hung up but seemed to uninstall. The menu bar icon disappeared.
I have been unable to reinstall the software from a new download. The installer seems to run successfully but no application appears in the Applications folder after rebooting.
Any suggestions as to what might prevent reinstall?

Check Point VPN-1 Securemote service causes Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion

Has anyone ever managed to solve this one?
We have a problem on Windows 7 SP1 32bit systems.
when we try to start the Check Point VPN-1 Securemote service we get this message:
Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion
When we install a clean Windows 7 from an ISO the checkpoint client without any issues
when we use the same Windows Setup source and install it from SCCM TS - the CheckPoint client doesn't start
the client we're installing is : CP_SeucRemoteSecureClient_NGX_R30_HFA3
which is supported for Win7 x86
other than that there are no special prerequisites for the CheckPoint client. therefore we know the problem is local :/
we tried to isolate and minimize the cause of the issues by trying to see the differences between a clean installation from ISO and a clean installation from SCCM
We know for sure the problem is not from SCCM Client, Programs and Features, Updates, Group Policy
it seems like the configuration is the same but we can't seem to find any online solution about this issue
any suggestions?
thanks

I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet. I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule. I get duplicate IPs error messages sometimes. How do I fix?

I have connected my time capsule to motorola SG6580 modem via ethernet. I have a wireless network on the motorola and a wireless network from the time capsule. I get duplicate IPs error messages (no connection) sometimes when trying to connect devices to the wireless network. How do I fix? Sometimes devices cannot connect to the network because of conflicting IPs. I look on the Motorola and every device has a unique IP assigned but occasionally a device has taken the IP of another device. I have been writing down all the devices and the IPs they have been using. It happens more with PCs than Macs, ipads or iPhones.

If the Time Capsule is set up correctly in bridge mode, then it is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router to provide the correct IP address assignments for all devices on the network.
Check to insure that the Time Capsule is correctly set up to operate in bridge mode as follows:
On your Mac, open AirPort Utility
Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Insure that the setting for Router Mode is configured to read "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Once you have confirmed that the Time Capsule is configured correctly, everything else is the responsibility of the Motorola modem/router as far as network routing and IP address assignments for devices.
If you continue to have IP address issues, then you should contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that provided the Motorola device to you and ask them to fix the issue.

L2TP over IPSEC to Check Point VPN-1 Power R62

Does anyone succeded in setting up such scenario??
I have ICA (Check Point build-in CA) root certificate and user certificate (both works on XP Pro) to my Keychains but when I try to use Certificate authentication from my 10.4.9 Internet Assistant -> VPN (L2TP) it says:
"Certificate authentication cannot be used used because your keychain does not contain any suitable certificate."
The truth certificates are in place and are valid. The usage field of the certificates states (2 5 29 15). Does anyone tried to face similar problem???
Check Point VPN-1 is quite common in the firewall and VPN market and this is a little bit of a shame that its interoperability with built-in VPN client was not test by Apple

No one? I'd be happy to provide any more info if someone needs it, i'm just looking for some sort of direction. I did almost this whole config by myself and i'm completely self-taught Cisco, so weird things like this really through me.
Please help. Thank you

Check Point VPN-1 with E71

Hi, Im trying to setup VPN between Check Point VPN-1 R65 gateway and Nokia E71 device. I am using Nokia Policy tool which should generate a policy for the device. The policy includes user's certificate which is loaded via policy tool.
My p12 certificate is generated by Check Point internal CA, but when Im trying to load the policy on the device, it fails with the error message "user certificate is not found".
I converted Check Point p12 certificate into PFX certificate using Microsoft CAPI import/export. The output is a certificate which can be loaded into the device, however something happended with the signature and Check Point gateway refuses to communicate (error: invalid signature "empty")
Any clues ?
Thanks

The CheckPoint VPN-1 Secure Client software is only compatible with Mac OS v 10.3 (Panther). I had the same issue and am waiting for CheckPoint to update the software.

2 networks ( VPN and local)

I am using an Airport Extreme Base Station that is connected to a cable modem and has a USB cable to an HP Laserjet 1200 printer. When I use VPN access to reach my work network from home (temporary change of IP address occurs) I can longer print via USB. Have to log out of VPN to be able to print. Is there any way to simultaneously be logged in via VPN and also have access to my local printer that is connected as above ?

Sorry -- I may not have been clear enough. Everything
is occurring at home. I am using VPN to access my
network at work
Are you using the OS X to make the VPN connection or third party software.
and I simultaneously want to print at
home using my printer connected to the base station
via USB
What you need to realise is that when your Mac is connected via VPN it is on a different network.
In order to print either your Mac has to disconnect the VPN, or your Airport Express needs to be part of the work network. The only real way to do this is via a compatible router. In other words the router makes the VPN connection rather than the Mac.

What's the difference between WDS and Extend Wireless Network?

Hi,
I have a situation where my main computer (Mac Pro) is wired to an Extreme (n), and I have an Express (n) in another room in the house to Bridge to other computers for better wireless reception.
The manuals say I should be connecting the wireless computer via WDS. The way I have it connected right now is as such.
Extreme:
Create a wireless network
Allow this network to be extended is checked
Express:
Extend a wireless network
Allow wireless clients is checked
Is the above method correct, or should I be setting the Extreme and Express via: Participate in a WDS network?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I am not an expert on wireless networks but here is what they do in a nut shell:
WDS is a network composed by access points that work together to expand your network without the need of "wired" connectivity. so one of the bases will be wired, the rest are not , they just relay info to other computers... good for small to medium size business / homes
EWN is a network composed of wired & wireless networks/access points that work together to expand your network. pretty much you could have 5+ bases plugged in to a LAN / WAN covering different areas of your company / home (long range for medium / big business / Bill Gate's home, etc.).

Airport and a wireless network

I set up a wireless network via an Airport Extreme, then I extended it via a second Airport Extreme. Now I have two wireless networks, one named "Network" and the second one named "network 5Ghz" both are working and both use the same password. Why is this happening? How do I correct it?

Apple's default setting is to use the same wireless network name for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals. This is the simplest setting for most users to use.....the reason being that wireless devices will automatically connect to the best signal quality based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the router.
Personally, I use this setting as well, since I'm willing to let the wireless device choose what they think is the best signal with which to connect.
However, there are some folks who swear by assigning a separate name to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals. Their reasoning is usually along the lines of......"I have a 5 GHz signal and I want my laptop to connect to it".
So, they point the laptop at the 5 GHz network. This works great if the laptop is in close proximity to the router.......(the same place the laptop will automatically connect anyway when the same default name is used for both bands)......but as the laptop moves further away from the router, it will usually try to hang onto the 5 GHz signal much longer than it should......at a location where the 2.4 GHz signal is stronger (and probably faster).
So, it is your choice here. Using the same name for both bands is much simpler for most users in my opinion. Most users will get better results with less effort with Apple's default setting. That is why I recommend this setting for most users.
If you want to spend more time trying to figure out which signal is better at any given location, and you don't mind changing networks on devices all the time.....then try the separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz settings. You too may swear by this.

Using laptop on separate home and office wireless networks

I have a laptop the connects (wireless) to my home router and my other home computers. At work we have a wireless router (both home and office are linksys wrt54g's). I can connect to the router at work, get to the internet, but can't "see" the other PCs at work.
Is there a good reference to trouble shoot the various settings for the routers, Windows XP, firewalls, Symantic, McAfee, and so on? I have administration privileges on all the systems and routers, but can't seem to get the settings right. BTW both routers are hardwired to PCs that use the same version of McAfee's security programs - my laptop uses Symantic security programs
Thanks.

If you intend using your portable Mac in a variety of different environments then I recommend you create a series of Locations and then switch between them as required. Keep Automatic for your most used network such as your home or office and then create additional ones for say, wireless networks on the road, an internet connection via your mobile phone and so on.
I am getting confused though, you say
'Actually, even if I boot to the login screen, I will see the G4 appear and can start transferring files, but after 10 -15 minutes, it disappears.'
From what you said earlier in this thread I thought you meant that the G4 laptop would either be visible or not to the other Macs when you join one of your networks not that it is visible for a while then drops off the network. Which is it please?
If it is the latter then check in System Preferences/Energy Saver to see if 'Put the hard disk(s) to sleep ...' is ticked and if it is untick it. You might also want to extend the time for 'Put the computer to sleep ....' to see if that makes a difference.

Is there a way to check the strength of available wireless networks from LabVIEW?

I am developing a LabVIEW application that will be used on a large
wireless network and would like to be able to monitor my wireless
signal strength from LabVIEW, similar to the Wireless Network
Connection control panel in Windows XP. Does anyone know of any
.dll or some Windows API call that I could use from LabVIEW to do
this?
Thanks in advance.

There might well be a .NET assembly that addresses this as well. I don't have a wireless card or any wireless drivers installed, so I can't find anything on my machine. Probably the best place to check is www.msdn.com. Best of luck!
