The only way to re-establish the IP address and the internet connection was to uninstall SecureClient. Shutting secureclient down was insufficient. This mac mini is connected directly to a cable modem via an ethernet cable--no router. Could that be the issue? I have had other users deliberately connect directly to their cable modem in this way in order to establish the site on SecureClient because they were unable to do so through their router, but those machines were running Leopard, not Snowleopard.

Checkpoint DOES suck...however, i don't have the LINUX skills (just a lowly designer running a mac) and am a little apprehensive about trying to manipulate the installer and install on a company mac laptop. any idea where i can get a package that's ready to install? not looking for something for nothing, but can't wait on Checkpoint anymore thanks, Chris Hey,

HOWEVER, has anyone tested the "office mode / hub mode" check point functionality with this updated installer? doesn't seem to work on the two snow leopard laptops we've tried. thanks! thanks for the great work on this installer modification (check point you suck).

However, removing the files seems to have helped for me. Maybe there are some other files left somewhere. Please check this folder /Library/Receipts/ for any files which could be from SC. If you renamed the SC Installer package to a different name. Then that name will be listed as a file here and will need to be removed. During the installation of SC, you can even verify and check the install logs from the menu while the installer is open. It should display "Upgrading". Otherwise it still found something of the former SC installations. This is exact what I experienced, if the installer does not complete because of an uncleaned deinstallation of SC.

I followed these instructions to the letter. Very easy to follow and no problems with the commands or order of items. However, I run the installer package and everything seems to install properly. Upon reboot, nothing happens. There is a Checkpoint folder with 3 broken links in the Applications folders. It won't let me run the installer package again because it says it is already installed. I have to do the terminal thing to remove it completely. I was able to run your other page that described how to fix it SecureClient after the install of the broken version. That method works. So, any ideas about what is going wrong? Thanks Hi there. I followed these instructions to the letter. Very easy to follow and no problems with the commands or order of items.
