New Nortel VPN Client
----------
I have heard that there is a new Nortel VPN client (4.1). Is this true? I need the new client becaue it apparently is compatible with Windows XP.

Anyone have suggestions for other VPN client that are supported on Windows XP?

Nortel 4.10 client
----------
Nortel has released it's 4.10 client and it supports XP. Nortel also announced that a new client will be released, not saying when however, that will support Mac OS, Win 98/2k/XP/ME/NT, Linux and more. For now, I'd pick up the 4.10 client and use it. There are some issues, for instance, on the management side you'll need to make sure of the following:
If your Contivity management software is older than 3.5, upgrade it.
If you have later than 3.5, your fine because the 4.10 is backwards compatible.
Your administrator can check out under Groups>Wins Address
There needs to be a Wins Address. If there is and you can connect to
the network but you can't browse, then while your connected, your
admin can run an ipconfig/all and see if the Wins Address is listed.
If it isn't listed then you've run into a known problem and you need
to call Nortel, they have a new beta client 4.12 that solves the
issue, however it's got other issues. 4.12 must be set up as a service
rather than an application.
