Connecting a Windows Vista Computer to a VPN
February 26th, 2007
Download vpnclient 5.0 or the latest Vista release, vpnclient 4.8. Nick tested the connection with 4.8 and 5.0. They both seem to work just fine.
Run the installer as administrator. An immediate restart is unnecessary.
Make the directory “Profiles” in C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\
Copy the file, msum.pcf, into the Profiles directory, and change the username inside the file from “howellni” to your username.
Connect to the wireless network using Vista; it’ll say you’re connected, but you won’t have internet access.
Start up the VPN Client and connect.
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail Nick.
