Hi Experts

I tried to search google for the below phrase (and many others) :

http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&sa=X&ei=7VDzT9HzHeTPmAWw4YGzCQ&ved=0CF8QvwUoAQ&q=configure+windows+cisco+system+vpn+client+to+connect+LAN&spell=1&biw=1366&bih=585

Looking for a document shows step by step walk-through how to configure Cisco Systems VPN client v5.0.07 to connect a mobile laptop (windows 7) over the internet to a small LAN office behind one of those branded router (D-link, Netgear , Linksys,,,etc).

Previously I have used TheGreen Bow but not Cisco System VPN client

Cisco website wasn't helpful for me

Regards

And your company should be giving you instructions. Normally its all setup in the pcf they deploy to the machines that are suppose to connect in.

I would contact your company IT for support to connect to their vpn.

example, here is pcf of mine.

I certainly could be wrong, but to the best of my knowledge, the Cisco VPN client 5.x will only connect to select Cisco VPN Hardware (Pix, ASA, Concentrator, etc). Because you do not appear to already be committed a particular router as of yet, why not get a cheap Cisco Pix or ASA off of ebay and then doing what you are trying to do will work as intended. Otherwise, if you are going to use one of those consumer routers, they usually have their own software vpn client, assuming that the router supports that type of connection.

there are a lot of pieces of information that we aren't going to have. ip or url to connect to, group psk that is assigned by the person configuring the vpn, and individual psk that is also assigned by the person configuring the vpn....you have those 3 pieces of information and you have just configured the client. If you have not configured the office end of the vpn the client isn't going to do squat for you.

cisco vpn isn't as simple as telling it "I want vpn now"....you must massage it, you must pamper it, and for the love of god, you must know how to configure it above all else. I absolutely hate cisco vpn configs, on a 1 - 10 hatred I have for cisco vpns it is about a 500.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
