Compatibility Issues

• Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall with the SafeNet Virtual Adapter

The SafeNet Virtual Adapter must be “firewalled” with the Windows XP

Internet Connection Firewall if the connection used to create VA is Windows

XP “firewalled”; otherwise, packets will not pass.

• Driver signing warnings on Windows XP with Security Patch MS02-50

Description: Earlier versions of the MS02-50 Security Patch on Windows XP

caused unsigned driver messages when installing the client.

Workaround: Download the latest MS02-50 Patch from this page on the

Microsoft web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/securit

y/bullet in/MS02-050.asp

If the patch is no longer on this page, search for this patch on the Microsoft

support web site, support.microsoft.com.

• Nortel Contivity VPN Switch

Description: The elements of the distinguished name sent by the switch are

not in the standard order expected by the client. When entering the

distinguished name in the Connect using Nortel Contivity VPN Switch group,

select the Enter Subject Name in LDAP Format check box. Make sure

that the order of the elements matches the order from the switch, for

example:

LDAP Format

Certificate

Information

CN Name

S State

C City

OU Department

O Company

Workaround: The Nortel switch's firmware version 3.5 or later,

with Keep Alives disabled is required. If a message regarding

invalid hash length appears in the Log View, this means that the

keep alive feature is enabled. The Keep Alives option is controlled

through the IPSec section of the Group profile. The menu item in

IPSec is called Enable Client Failover Tuning.

• PPPoE software for DSL connections must be installed

and operational before the client is installed.

Description: Installing PPPoE software on a computer that the

client is already on removes some network components.

Workaround: If the computer doesn’t have the client installed,

install the PPPoE install the PPPoE software before you install the

client. If the client is already installed, uninstall, and save the

IPSec policy when prompted during the uninstall. After your

computer reboots, install the PPPoE software, and then install the

client again.

• Compatibility issue with 3Com Smart Agent software

Description: If the 3Com Smart Agent software is installed before

the client in

installed, the client doesn’t operate correctly.

Workaround: Install the Smart Agent software before installing

the client

• Errors when the gateway sends certificates with more

than 1024 bits to a client without the Microsoft Enhanced

CSP

Description: Log Viewer errors and connection failures occur on

the client when the gateway sends certificates larger than 1024 bits

on computers that don’t have a 128bit version of Internet Explorer

installed. Log errors can’t acquire enhanced provider verify context,

and signature verification fails.

Workaround: For gateways that send certificates larger than 1024

bits to the client, upgrade to the 128-bit version of Internet

Explorer, which include the Microsoft Enhanced CSP.

• Automatic certificate selection may not work in Aggressive

Mode.

Description: Because Aggressive Mode sends an ID payload in the

first initiator packet, and no explicit certificate is selected, the

session may fail. The client make a best guess, and selects the first

certificate that meets the specified ID type, such as DN, email, or

IP address. This certificate, however, may not be a valid

certificate.

Workaround: Manually select the certificate when using

Aggressive Mode, or limit your certificates to one in the

Certificate Manager.

• Compatibility issues with EarthLink software

Description: The client is incompatibility with EarthLink Internet

software, version 5.02.

Workaround: EarthLink can still be accessed through a standard

dial-up networking configuration. Uninstall the EarthLink software.

EarthLink Technical Support is aware of the situation; contact

EarthLink for help in setting up a standard dial-up configuration for

EarthLink access.

• Compatibility issues with Sony Vaio and 3COM 3CCFE575CT

CardBus PC Card

Description: The 3COM 3CXFE575CT 10/100 LAN CardBus PC

Card isn’t compatible with Sony Vaio notebook computers; after

the client is installed, the computer requires an Ethernet cable to

be attached to boot. This NIC card works fine in other computers..

Workaround: Use hardware profiles to disable the NIC card, or

remove the NIC card when the computer isn’t attached to the

network.

• On Windows 95/98/Me, the Entrega USB has problems with

suspend/standby.

Description: The Entrega USB has problems when returning from

suspend mode in that the interface is not always present.

Workaround: Unplug the adapter, and then plug it back in.

• AOL 6.0 Compatibility

Description: AOL 6.0 software has installation problems on

Windows 95/98/SE/Me system with DNE. The AOL installation

continuously reinstalls TCP/IP and asks to be restarted.

Workarounds: Try one of these:

 Boot into safe mode, remove DNE, and continue with the AOL

install. After AOL is

installed, reinstall DNE. AOL will still ask to be restarted on every

startup; click

No, and AOL work just fine.

 Upgrade to AOL 7.0. On Windows XP using native XP PPPoE

connections, if an AOL 7.0 upgrade is performed on the client is

installed, repair the client. This will correct the PPPoE settings

that AOL overwrites.

• RequestLocalAddress failure and dialup interfaces are not

detected properly in the Log Viewer on clients that also have

the Nortel client installed and DN is bound to the Nortel

IPSECSHM

Description: Cannot connect using Windows 2000 and XP RAS

connections when DN is bound to the Nortel IPSECSHM.

Workaround: In the Windows Device Manager, if the IPSECSHM -

Deterministic Network Enhancer Miniport is disabled, the dialup interface

will be detected properly and sessions will establish.
