Enter network properties from Pulse Secure Network Adapter without connection

[nsc2001]

Hello,

I've a problem with the combination Pulse Secure and Siemens TIA Portal 17.

When I start a connection with Pulse Secure 9.1.11 I got a BSOD (ndis.sys Error). To solve this problem I have to deactivate the "SIMATIC Industrial Ethernet (ISO)" protocol from the pulse secure network properties. But there is the problem. The Network adapter is only available, when the connection is established. But then I got a BOSD.

Is there any way to get into the probperties without a connection?

Got the solution my self... 

When Pulse Secure is authentification, the adapter is availible. Then open the network properties. Abort the pulse secure connection before establishing the complete connection. Now you have enough time to change the properties.

Hi, it seems we got the same issue....

unfortunately we can't find the "screen" or adapter for the pulse network.

- in which phase of authentication is it visible? Any screenshots are welcome.

On the other hand I ask myself why ndis.sys will be loaded from Pulse and which version is needed/loaded. On another notebook I don't have any ndis.sys driver and the client runs well.

Thanks for any help in advance.

the adapter is visible only after the vpn connection is up. i would not expect to see an ndis driver for vpn; however, if you are using the secure application manager connection, an ndis driver is loaded. if you are using this latter option, there is no adapter created on the client and changes cannot be made (as there is no additional adapter)

Thanks for the answer. It's not clear to me what exactly is needed as we are only the "user" of an optional connection to a customer site. I'll try again to get in contect with the IT of the customer fo find out how it is setup there. It seems to me if a ndis.sys driver is installed on our maschine it's going to be loaded if it's needed or not.

you are welcome; apologies for the confusion. if you are seeing an ndis driver, you will not see a vpn adapter.
