Before configuring ViPNet Client, the configuration of the coordinator(s) should be finished to allow the communication between clients in different networks. Not all clients set up in ViPNet Manager need to be connected to have a functioning VPN.
Warning! Before starting ViPNet Client, make sure there is no any other firewall installed on the computer. If there is, you should delete it. If you use Microsoft Windows XP, turn off the integrated Windows Firewall within the Network Connections settings (when using Service Pack 2, this option is switched on by default). Using ViPNet Client and another firewall simultaneously may lead to conflicts between the programs and problems with network access.
If you log on to a domain, terminal or similar server, the process will fail if a coordinator or client is not (yet) installed on the domain-controller. All connection attempts from non-ViPNet objects to the computer will also fail. This happens because the integrated firewall denies all unprotected (non-encrypted) connections. To ensure network functionality during ViPNet setup, integrated firewalls on installed ViPNet network nodes should be configured accordingly.
