Hi,
We have an app that when using DirectAccess 2008 with UAG from home tries to connect to a license server before it initiates, say it is called License01. It works in the office, but not at home, I can ping License01 and get a reply and there are no firewall restrictions.
I did a Wireshark trace and can see the application trying to do a NBNS for License01. I believe this is a NetBIOS broadcast and is a IPv4 only protocol. I believe this is the problem, if it were to use DNS for name resolution then we would not have a problem, the application is very old and we are lucky to have it working on Windows 7 in the first place.
1) Can anyone verify that what I think is happening is actually happening?
2) Will DirectAccess 2012 allow the clients to use IPv4 over the VPN tunnel, or is the IPv4 communication that is being introduced only for backend communication from the DirectAccess server to servers that cannot use IPv6 previously?
Any clarification would very much be appreciated as it has been suggested upgrading to DirectAccess 2012 will solve our problem, but if the answer to question 2 is that IPv4 will still not be available over the tunnel from the client then this will not solve our problem.
Many thanks,
Michael
