Network Unidentified with Endpoint Security

[omr]

Hi all,

I have a issue with etsablishing Network connections on Laptops which have the Checkpoint Endpoint Security installed.

If i connect to a wlan network the network identification takes forever and ultimately fails.

The problem does not exist permanently and not with every connection, but it doesn't occur at all if the checkpoint client is uninstalled (this is why I think it is related to the client).

I use and have testet version 80.95 and 81.30.

The installed blades (though some only have minimal configuration/restrictions) are:

Media Encryption

Forensic

Anti-Bot

Threat Extraction and Emulation

Compliance

URL Fltering

Firewall

Application Control

VPN

Did any of you have similar problems or any idea what could be the cause?

Hello,

It's probably to do with the fact that the Endpoint Security client self-protection mechanism is blocking installation of new drivers (see sk122195 for more info).

Try upgrading to the latest version (E82.00), test again and advise results.

I hope this helps.
