May 19, 2009Hi There,
Hmm..weird problem. Though given IE8 is still so new i'd expect a few issues. Does it work okay with IE7?
One idea you may want to try is to install the DNS Relay Proxy Service from the FirePass on your machine. This is what i do, go to Device Management -> Client Downloads -> Windows (x86). Check in "Select all items" and click "Update". Next go to the "Download" tab and click "Download customized package". Download and install this.
This basically installs all the client side app's that FirePass normally delivers at runtime. The couple of exceptions to this are:
- The DNS Relay Proxy is never delivered at runtime by FirePass. You have to download and install it (as per these instructons)
- The FirePass Windows Client is the same (you have to install it manually)
Anyway, that aside, once it's installed you should see a service in your Windows Services (Control Panel) called the F5 DNS Relay Proxy Service. I would reboot your PC after installing it. When you're PC starts make sure this service is started and try your Web AppTunnel again. Hopefully that does the trick for you.
if it still fails I'd be on the phone with f5 support.
Cheers,
Mal
