VPN not working

Hi all,

We have the following situation. 2 remote office workers are sitting in a
local wireless LAN connecting to HQ via a 3rd party VPN. Both computers are
using the DHCP for the local LAN. A computer with W2K connects fine and gets
its IP address on the virtual network connector from HQ. The second computer
with XPSP2 has 0.0.0.0 on ip address and network mask. The XPSP2 firewall
has been disabled through command line command "netsh firewall set opmode
mode=disable".

Does anybody have an idea what is going on?

Thanks,

Claus

Thanks for the answer but I don't believe the ISA people would be able to
help here. As I pointed out, it is a 3rd party VPN (SonicWall GlobalVPN
Client). The issue has to be within XPSP2 because a W2K box from the same
location with the same configuration works just fine. For testing purpose we
did disable the XPSP2 firewall but it is still not working.

Any other idea what we could check?

Thanks,
Claus
