I had the same problem on my laptop, running XP. I have 2 vpn clients on my laptop to vpn into 2 different client networks. I have my most frequently used one starting up at boot. Then I went to msconfig and set the second one to NOT start up at boot. Then I disable my "default" one and enable the second one when I need to use it. It has been working fine. -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Murad Talukdar Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 12:13 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Two different vpn clients on XP possible? Okay-so I think this may not be possible and has something to do with the fact that both clients want to bind to the port on boot. Does that sound right to everyone-and if so, one client has to get there first and therefore the other can't bind to the same port as well. So is there anyway to make a vpn client bind to the port only when required? -----Original Message----- From: Murad Talukdar [mailto:talukdar_m () subway com] Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 1:25 PM To: 'security-basics () securityfocus com' Subject: Two different vpn clients on XP possible? Hi all, I'm faced with a dilemma; We have mobile users who connect to our HQ in the US using Nortel's VPN client so that they can send audit info. This is used possibly once or twice a week for period of a few minutes each time. We would also like to give them VPN access to our LAN here in Aus. However, we have a watchguard and the two clients are not compatible it seems. Could I instead use Xp's built in IPsec to tunnel through our WG and keep the existing Nortel client? Has anyone had success with two different clients on same box? Reading posts and googling does not fill me with confidence. I've thought of VM"s but know that the mobile staff would shoot me if I suggested this. Some of them still ask where the 'any' key is without a hint of irony.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
