Windows 2008, Novell Client and Sophos

Tester

Hello

I have a situation with Sophos installed on a Windows 2008 R2 machine which has Novell Client 2sp1 installed.

Sophos does not seem to be working on this machine until novell client is disabled.

Our network is a big network with over 25,000 machines which is both a Microsoft and Novell Network.

For sophos to be installed on clients based on the network we have,, network client has to be disable which is impossible.

Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this issue in such a way both Microsoft and Novell Network does not get interrupted???

Till now what I have understood if I not mistaken is that Sophos does have some issues with Windows 2008 R2 and I have seen some forums stating that there are issues of Sophos not able to perform properly with Novell Client.

To be more accurate... Enterprise Console installed on Windows 2008 R2 with Novell Client 2sp1 doesnt seem to be working.

Can someone advice and help in solving t his issue?

Thank you

    Hi

    This is what happens...

    When asked to enter user credentials,,, this is the error msg.

    'Timeout while attempting to connect to the specified address. There may be a problem with the network.'

    http://esp.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/111428.html

    And once credentials are entered, it just times out not allowing to connect to the Sophos servers.

    But once Novell Client is uninstalled, [Novell Client 2sp1],, there is no issue at all.

    Once user credentials are entered, it gets connected and everything works fine.

    Is there a way to have Novell Client on the machine and get connected to Sophos servers without timeout??

    Uninstalling Novell Client is going to be impossible on our network.

    Thanks
