| Can someone tell me if there is a way to use the built in WINDOWS XP
PRO VPN CLIENT to connect to a SONICWALL PRO 330 vpn and if so how? I
have tried everything and it wont connect. It appears I can only
connect to the sonicwall using the SONICWALL GLOBAL VPN CLIENT..
anyone get it to work??

Yes I can answer that:
No, there is no way to do it. According to sonicwall it has to do with
the way the XP client negotiates - apparently it does so in a
"non-standard" way. Something to do with jow it handles aggressive mode.
Other VPN clients will likely work OK, just not the Windows XP built in
client.

XP built-in IPsec client can connect to standards-conforming IPsec VPN
server easily. For step-by-step configuration, see my company website
below. Some commercial VPN servers implements some proprietary stuff
only to tight their users up, which neither enhances security nor
performance.

No. In fact if the remote end properly implements agressive mode as per
the standard, the windoze XP ipsec client won't work with it.
