Hi, Has anybody used IP Blue with Windows Vista? I have a Cisco VPN client connection over wireless. I am still having problems using IP blue with multiple profiles.. For a while, the configuration of different profiles for HQ, BR1, and BR2 seemed to be stable, following the hints on
http://www.certificationtalk.com:81/showflat.php?Cat//Board/VGen/Number/29126/page/10/view/collapsed/sb/5/o//fpart/1 Yesterday, after launching IP communicator, I started getting weird symptoms: IP blue won't launch until I disable a couple of the Microsoft loopback interfaces! This is limiting me to three instances ( I am not sure if it is going to be less in the next session!). If I am going to use both IP Blue and Cisco IP Communicator, what mac/ interface should I use on Cisco IP communicator to avoid conflicts? What is the best practice when having both softphones? Which to use Where?? Any ideas for alternative soft phones? I have a Vista business laptop and am using IP blue vtgo lite v.2.10.1 for xp and 2000.. Are there any compatibility issues?

If it works, test it with Wireless/Ethernet (with VPN). I am also curious to find out. On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 4:25 PM, Ahmed Hamed wrote: > Hi HTH, > > Thanks for the reply.
