Should work.I dont have any specific experience with either of those two clients, but there is no set limit to how many VPN applications you can run. Most VPN secure clients create a virtual network adapter to bind the VPN tunnel to. This means that when multiple VPN's are connected at the same time, the assigned IP address for that tunnel gets connected on the VPN virtual adapter for that specific client. <br />
<br />
The key is that a different IP address range must be used for each connection, otherwise you will simply get no connectivity. Because the VPN tunnel is already routing the traffic for one of the connections. <br />
<br />
So for example:<br />
<br />
You computer is on a LAN IP of 192.168.1.1<br />
Your Linksys VPN is connected to the Linksys client network, on 10.0.0.1<br />
and your Watchgaurd VPN is connected to the watchgaurd network on 172.16.1.1<br />
<br />
Then everything will work fine. If the Linksys company and the Watchgaurd company both use a network on the 10.0.0.x range, then traffic wont route when both connections are enabled. <br />
<br />
Sorry if that was a bit overly technical, if your using the 2 VPNs at different times - they should work fine :)<br />

Thanks Fenlock but what scared me is when I saw the following in the setup manual: &quot;IMPORTANT: You cannot install the WatchGuard Mobile VPn software on a computer that already has a non-Microsoft IPSec VPN client or personal firewall installed on it...if you do not remove existing VPN Client or personal firewall software before you continue, you may experience instability or loss of data...the personal firewall integrated with the WatchGuard Mobile VPN software offers a full set of security features to protect your computer against attacks from the Internet or from your (W)LAN...then it asks...do you want to continue installation? &quot;<br />
So, from that statement that came with the install software instructions for WatchGuard Mobile VPN...I wasnt sure if I could install it if I already have Linksys installed...I also have a personal firewall with my TrendMicro software installed on my XP box. Do you still think I can install??? Thanks so much.

thanks so much fenlock...I appreciate you explaining this so well. I suspected that was the case...but, I think I will just go ahead and install it on a backup machine. thanks again.

Hi I am a contractor with a couple of contracts. I currently have Linksys VPN for one client to connect to their boxes, but need to install another VPN client called WatchGuard Mobile VPN to do work for another client. Can I install these on the same box? I don't need to use them simultaneously, only separately. Will this work, or will I run into problems? I am running Windows XP Pro. My Linksys connection works fine, so I don't want to mess up my box. Should I get a new machine for the WatchGuard Mobile VPN Client?

Can I install 2 VPN clients on the same XP machine?

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
