Unanswered VPN for Vista

    I've installed the beta version of Nortel VPN for Vista and I am getting a timed out response, stating that the Remote server is not responding.

    The firewall doesn't seem to be blocking access and I'm wondering if there's another setting that I'm missing to get connected.

     

    When I run the same settings from an XP box, I have no problem.

    I had the same problem with a Cisco VPN client, and it turned out to be the Vista firewall.  If you go into the Vista firewall and add the VPN client's executable as an exception, it should work.

    I tried that too, unfortunately it didn't work.

    I've even taken down the whole firewall to make connectivity and didn't get a response.

    Hi,

    As it's a 3rd party product. I would suggest to check with that vendor for the problem.

    Hello

     

    I got the Nortel to work great when using a LAN to connect my laptop. However, when using my verizon ev-do card - I can surf the web great, but the Nortel VPN client will not work - error code requests to check the firewall.

     

    thoughts?

    I would suggest to ask the question in Nortel forum.

    I have VISTA Business running on my laptop and have attempted to connect to my company's VPN via the Vista VPN Client and it hangs on verifying username and password.  I have tried this on 3 different computers (both VISTA) with no success.  I do have an XP machine at home that I was able to connect with. 

    Any suggestions?

    Did you check the connection properties of that VPN connection?

    And what VPN server is that? 3rd party VPN server may got compatibility problem with Vista.

    Sorry, I am not quite understand your problem. Are you making VPN connection from XP? Connect to where?

    Sometimes, the problem may related to firewall setting.
