How to determine if a user comes in via LAN or Dialup ?

Guys,

I'm working for a rather large corporation in Sweden. We got Citrix internally on the LAN and we also got dialin access to the same farm.

When a user is connected over modem/dialin we don't want them to be able to use IE through the Ctx farm to gain access to a higher speed internet browser. But we do want them to be able to use the IE in the Ctx farm when they are working in the office.

Have anyone done anything similar or got ideas on how to achieve this ?

Thanks alot for your help

This can be possible if you make sure that the user who is dialing in is getting is on another subnet or in a different IP range than the lan users. In that case you can assign a different pn.ini to the user during logon by checking the IP or subnet. If the IP ranges are the same, then try to read the processes of the user. There should be a dialup proces. You could use the PSTOOLS from sysinternals to do this. Then script that if the dialup process is running, that the user can or cannot use the IE.
