Checkpoint Secure Client 64bit Solution
6 Comments// Posted in Technical by Julian on 11.14.09.
The following entry details how to get the 32bit version of Checkpoint’s Secure Client working on your 64 bit operating system.
For whatever reason, many people are finding themselves unable to upgrade to a 64bit operating system, whether it be Windows 7 or Vista, while others find themselves considering downgrading just so they can connect remotely to work. Well, there is a pretty obvious and easy solution—use a Virtual PC!
This solution is tailored to Windows 7 64bit, but can be equally applied to Vista installs, and it is completely free and easy!
First, grab both these files (for the relevent version of windows 7).
Install them in the correct order!
Start up Windows 7 Virtual PC XP (if you installed them correctly they should now be in Start Menu).
Install your VPN-1 Secure Client.
From your virtual PC tool menu:
Click Tools-> Settings
Click Network
Change your adaptor to use your actual hardware adaptor, not Shared Networking.
Reboot your virtual PC completely
You should now be able to start VPN Secure client and log in from your PC. Happy days.

This is still not a solution. It is a workaround. The major disadvantage is that i cannot synchronize outlook until i’m in the office, and this is a big disadvantage of the solution.
For every other thing i’m leaving with it for a year…
Hey Gustavo, you are correct, it is a workaround, I used a title that I had typed when I was looking for a solution/workaround. I know this isn’t perfect for everyone but for home workers it’s pretty handy.
But is possible that Checkpoint dont have a 64bit solution for net client?

If your using an application to connect then you might not want to do that. Try this: Click start (Flag in the circle) and then click Connect To… and then click on the network and if you have a Network code enter it.
