Sonicwall Global Vpn Client
Posted : admin On 03.08.2019The SonicWALL VPN client is an application that connects to the virtual private networks running on SonicWALL network security devices. It installs a network driver that doesn't always uninstall properly, so SonicWALL provides an official VPN client removal tool.
Purpose
The SonicWALL Global VPN Client, or GVC, includes a network driver known as the Deterministic NDIS Enhancer, or DNE, driver. This driver binds to the network adapter in Windows. The normal SonicWALL Global VPN Client uninstaller doesn't always uninstall the DNE driver properly.

If the DNE driver is still present, users trying to install a newer version of the SonicWALL VPN client on the computer encounter an error message. Users need to run the official clean-up tool before installing the new version if the error message appears.
Download Location
Users can download the Global VPN Client Clean Up Tool from SonicWALL's support website. SonicWALL provides the 'GVCUtil32.zip' file for 32-bit versions of WIndows and the 'GVCUtil64.zip' file for 64-bit versions of Windows.

For whatever reason, my sonicwall Global VPN Client will not aquire an IP address for the virtual adapter. It does connect successfully and the handshaking and such goes well. My Sonicwall log shows no errors but you can definitly see in the VPN client where it just hangs on aquiring IP address.DHCP is setup to do DHCP through VPN, in that dialog I have added my DHCP server as the relay to server.
Heres my log of me connecting, waiting a few seconds while it just aquires then hangs. Once it hangs I hit delete and it disconnects.

At one point I had site to site VPN working where the DHCP was relayed through the VPN so I am pretty confident that the relay is correct and working. What causes this? I've tried turning on and off NAT transversal AND if i set a static ip address to the virutal adapter it connects and I am able to ping my LAN.

Id really rather have DHCP working though for sure.
Any ideas?
