   Cisco VPN Client <-> XP VPN

   Hello,   
      
   I'm a little bit confused about the differences between Microsoft's   
   build-in VPN Client (for XP) and Cisco's VPN client.   
   I wanna set up a connection to a network using Cisco's client (which   
   I'm using for other networks as well). For the new network detailed   
   instructions for the XP client are given, but nothing for the Cisco   
   client. I thought - please correct me, if I'm wrong - that XP and   
   Cisco both use the L2TP technique, so I should be able to use any   
   client for those connections. But Cisco's client needs much more   
   information than the IP of the gate (e.g. Group name and passwd). Is   
   there a possibility using the Cisco client when only the gate IP is   
   known (which is enough for XP) ?   
      
   Thanks a lot,   
   Raul
