[SonicWALL]- VPN test

[johndean]

If anyone has the ability to take their notebook and plug it into the WAN port, give it a valid IP address, test DMZ and 1 to 1 NAT access, then connect using the sonicwall client, then disconnect the client, and verify they lost the ability with that notebook to get into the DMZ and 1 to 1 NAT servers they could access before using VPN, let me know.   I've troubleshot my issue down to just that.   I've duplicated it with 5 machines so far.    Everything is set up and works great - until you make a connection with the sonicwall VPN client from your own WAN port to get internal access to your LAN.  Once you disconnect, you lose all access to any public servers you have set up in the DMZ or via 1 to 1 NAT on the LAN until the sonicwall is reset.   There are no configuration issues that I can find, otherwise things would fail in other circumstances as well.   I can use the ms vpn all day, and everything works fine still, including hitting my DMZ servers and 1 to 1 NAT-ed servers.  But the moment any machine I've tested with uses the sonicwall VPN 8 client, then when that machine is done, disconnected from the VPN, it can never get back to the DMZ or other publicly accessible servers until the sonicwall is rebooted.   I'm curious to see if this is something that's only happening on mine, or if it's something with the model, series, or firmware.  I'm running a Pro-300 with firmware 6.3.1.0   Again, everything works just great except for this one thing.  And since I'm the only one here who ever puts their computer outside of the firewall for testing, it only affects me, so it's not a showstopper.  But I'd like to know if it's just something here, or if anyone else can duplicate it.   Even removing the sonicwall software from the machine doesn't fix this - nothing matters at all, unless the sonicwall itself is rebooted.  Then it works fine again until the next time you VPN in and lose access to your public servers again.   Thanks   John
