Softphone and VPN PC

[Conno]

Has anyone been able to deploy a softphone on a laptop/pc that was connected to their network via VPN?

 

[tlpeter]

Is there another way of using the softphone ?

You need a connection to the network otherwise it will not work

Yes I have successfully done this - I have done it with a Netgear DGFV338 and the netgear Prosafe client installed on the laptop.

In fact I have that on my laptop now with a client set up to two of our sites to allow me to make test calls off their system if need be.

Never argue with an idiot. bystanders won't be able to tell the difference.

Tom, we also use std. windows vpn going through an ISA server. Do you split your voice and data between separate VLANs?

Yep, use IP PMPRO through the Cisco VPN client (from an Eee PC, BTW). The firewall is an ASA. Works pretty well.

Also works nicely via a Juniper SSL VPN...
