My company firewall is Checkpoint NG FP3 running on Linux. I have secureclient installed on my laptop and can access internal servers on the company LAN without any problems. I can also ping my internal servers without any problems. I use a dial-up connection which gives me a valid public IP.
However when I try to ping the laptop from an internal server or conenct to it via telnet, I get timeouts. Doing a traceroute shows that the packets are stopped at the firewall and do not even reach the client.
Does the VPN allow packets initiated from the LAN or must the laptop initiate all connections? Am I missing some configuration or is this the way the Checkpoint VPN works?
I desperately need users within the LAN to be able to connect to a server application running on my laptop while I am on the move.
Any ideas?
