Virtual Box Network Settings for juniper Network connect

Post by John Smith K »

I have Installed Virtual Box 4.1.6 for Mac and the guest (Virtual m/c) now successfully hosts Windows 7.

The purpose of having WIndows 7 was to be able to connect to my remote machine in A.C. Nielsen's(my client) network. Mac asked me for quite a few JVM updates, installing which seemed tedious.

Now I have to connect via Juniper networks Secure Access. After downloading the initial set up, I logged in with my Nielsen credentials - (screen shot 1) only to get the error as in attached - screen shot 2

Following is an excerpt from the pdf specific to my error
>>
nc.windows.app.23712
System Log Message
The Network Connect session terminated. Do you want to re-connect?
Cause
The Network Connect client was disconnected from the secure gateway because of
a failure in the client’s configuration. It is possible a network adapter or other piece
of hardware failed.
Action
Click Yes to re-establish your connection to the secure gateway. Click No to close the
Network Connect client. If you are still having trouble, contact your system
administrator and verify your computer’s system configuration before signing in to
the secure gateway and launching Network Connect again. You can also try
uninstalling and reinstalling Network Connect.

On Clicking yes to Reconnect I get the following error message
>>
nc.windows.app.24061
System Log Message
Reconnect attempt to the secure gateway failed
Cause
Network Connect failed to reconnect to the secure gateway.
Action
Exit out of Network Connect and try to log in to the secure gateway again.

Hi John,

Did you get a solution for this issue? (I see no one replied on your post).
I have exactly the same setup as you, except that I use Win XP as guest.

I get the same error message and it is frustrating. I changed the VM's network setting to all possible options, but no change.

How is the networking set up in the Windows guest? Most VPN-type connections have problems with NAT. You should have more success with bridged networking.

Hi all:

I'm having similar problems as I want to use the NATted wireless connection with Network Connect, but it gets disconnected from time to time. Is it a way to avoid it?
And if not, it is possible to set a wireless connection on the guest? Because the wireless connection asks for 802.1x authentication so, if I bridge it, I cannot use it.

Thanks
