I have never been successfully able to have two vpn clients loaded on
the same machine. Both of the installs will finish, but after that
when you try to use them only one will work. I think it has
something to do with the virtual adapters, that they load.

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?

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....
