Nortel VPN Client Windows 7 error unable to reach server

[bkeehn]

I keep getting an error unable to reach server when using Nortel VPN client. The strange thing is sometimes I can connect and other times I get the above error. I have tried rebooting, even reinstalling and the problem comes and goes. Has anyone seen this?

just 5 minutes later and VERY happy. The solution to disable the Internet Connection Servcie did work for me. I just was to stupid to find the correct service in my windows language version

Hi all,
I was searching some weeks and read some informations and tipps on platforms like tom's hardware. Alss tipps are concentrated on the firewall but stopping the McAffee firewall for a short period makes no different. The failure appears constant with the message "unable to reach server".
I had the idea to uninstall the SideAdvisor and did it successfull.

Maybe this tipp helps anybody.

Alls the best

I found the Internet connection sharing was on turn it off issue will get resolved.
You can check it if you have 2 LAN devices on your system.
