Problem:
Markdale Tractor Sales (Ford – New Holland), Markdale, ON

Symantec anti virus not working on local network with satellite Internet.

The customer has a LincSat satellite connection feeding 19 Windows XP clients on an AS/400 network.  The customer tried a variety NAT routing clients including WinGate and SyGate to distribute the Internet connection across the network.  These clients blocked non-proprietary network traffic and could not be configured to allow Symantec Corporate Edition anti virus to update.  The workstations had difficulty connecting to the AS/400 using the supplied IBM connector client.

Solution:
Windows Server 2003 and the Routing and Remote Access service allowed us to route the Internet connection and correct all networking issues.

Equipment and Technologies Utilized:

Windows Server 2003
