Hi, currently been using the 4.15 of the contivity client with XP and
I can connect to my corporate network all ok.

New machines with Vista on, and 4.15 doesnt work - ok I find a beta
version for vista on the web - version 6_07.007.

This installs ok, i try to connect to work and nothing, it says cannot
connect to host. The XP machine can still connect and they are on the
same network so i dont believe its a firewall problem (just a firewall
in the router, which supports IPSEC pass through), my windows firewall
is turned off.

Is there a need for the server side to be able to recognise the new
client or should it work anyway?

also is there a way of testing network connectivty (e.g. telnetting to
a port), my web searches say it listens on port 500 UDP but I dont
know how to test if i can connect to it.

Thanks for any advice

Dave

will depend on what the release notes says as required on teh contivity
server. However I am assuming since you were using a 4.15 client that
you may be low enough version of server code that an upgrade may be
necessary for the 6_07.007 client.

Most of the time the server needs to be at least the version or higher
than the client versions.

The Nortel VPN Client for Vista must be installed by an Administrator and in
XP compatibility mode. Failure to install in XP compatibility mode will
result in errors during the installation of the VPN drivers. If this
occurs, set eac607d.exe for XP compatibility mode and reinstall.
