Whenever I try the ICS method, then VPN client comes back with error 442 failed to enable virtual adapter (ok, it connected one time, but I couldn't ping or access anything). I've seen that many times before and usually fixed by a reboot or disabling/enabling my NIC. I've also read the fix to solve that error is to disable ICS, which obviously won't work. I've read of other people not being able to connect and having random issues trying to use this method. Has anyone been able to do this successfully each time, not intermittently? Btw, I am running Vista and you are not allowed to suggest moving to a Mac.

Multiple CIPC only with VMWare. If you are studying for the Voice IE - CIPC or IPBlue won't really cut it. You need some hardware phones. You can route them through your laptop for VPN software if you can't afford phones and a router/switch for VPN - but you still need hardware phones. Many things exist that the new Gen2 hardware phones can do that the softclients cannot do - but I will point out but one crucial lacking in the softphones: Namely the ability to configure and test something called Globalization and Localization. (Ok - Localization works, but Globalization and "Mapping the Globalized Number to a Localized Call Variant" both cannot be tested). You need to be able to test this, among other things.

Trying to see what gaps exists between ipblue vs real cisco hw phones in terms of feature set. Or Is it possible to get multiple CIPC loaded on a single laptop ? Appreciate any thoughts.
