I had to open up outbound UDP port on the Firewall. Here is the description of what transpired. My company gave us a pre-configured Nortel VPN Client for use on XP but it did not work on Vista, so I downloaded the client for Vista and tried to configure it but I didn't know the information, so I than installed the company one on top of it which did not do anything, it basically looked as if it did not install however, I then installed the updated Nortel one for Vista again on top of that and lo and behold, when I opened up the VPN program almost all of the information was there from the company VPN client.
