Eventually the laptop hibernates, keeping its memory of running JunOS Pulse. Then I leave my laptop for a length of time. But when I clicked on the adapter I reasoned that if I could simply remove the IP address then I would achieve what I needed and restore my regular connectivity. So I thought there should be a way to remove the adapter with a command-line command. Well, the symptoms I was experiencing during hanging is that the virtual adapter JunOS creates is present and keeps its IP address, as you can see form an output of ipconfig /all. I was really stumped when I first encountered this problem and couldn’t connect.

The next time you try to use the JunOS Pulse client it will never finish connecting! So while it is trying to connect you have to repeat the steps above but this time enable the adapter! I imagine you would need administrator access to your PC in order to be able to do this.Īnd this is a very big catch. Your disconnect should then complete and the virtual adapter will eventually disappear on its own. Click on Network and Sharing Center then Change adapter settings.

To get to this adapter in Windows 7 type network in the Run text box. When it’s hanging you will have an additional adapter not normally present called JunOS virtual adapter or something like that. As often as not it hangs while displaying Disconnecting… A reboot seemed a little drastic to me so I found a kinder, gentler way to reset things.
