RE: Two different vpn clients on XP possible?

["Andrew Aris" <andrew () dev bigfishinternet co uk>]

Depending on which Watchguard applicance you are using you should be able to
VPN to that using the regular Windows XP client and then use your Nortel
client as per normal.

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....
