re: CheckPoint VPN gateway via NAT:

1) You need to verify that you're getting BOTH pop-ups stating that the VPN
authentication has worked.... the 1st one has blue text saying "blah blah
auth ok blah blah" and the second says that the secure config has been
verified. If you don't get BOTH then that's bad.

2) If you never get asked to authenticate it could be because the NAT'd
IP's being handed off to your VPN client are defined by the client as being
"inside" your corporate firewall (checkpoint uses the concepts of
within/without). Now you're completely hosed.

3) If you indeed get both boxes above, or if you only get one of them, try
this:
      Within the VPN client
      Tools -> Encryption Scheme
      Advanced
      and check the "Force UDP encapsulation"
This often fixes the NATing issue for Checkpoint's VPN client.
