SYMPTOMS

You may be unable to use the following components at the same time in Microsoft Windows XP or in Microsoft Windows 2000:
  • A version of AT&T Global Network virtual private network (VPN) client that is earlier than version 6.7
  • The Internet Protocol security (IPsec) implementation that is built into both Windows XP and Windows 2000
In this situation, you cannot use a VPN tunnel to access resources on an enterprise network on which Domain and Server Isolation policies are deployed.
