Hi all,

VPN question here. I am trying to connect to an MS VPN @ work (previously was conencting to a Cisco VPN w/out issue @ old job) and running afoul of the new environment settings.

I found the MS VPN connection settings, and was wondering how this could be setup using either network manager-vpnc or just vpnc or xl2tpd. IT says it's a pptp VPN, but the settings below indicate otherwise.

I would like to know how to make this work so that I can connect from home - using Hardy Heron 8.04 32-bit (64 bit vpn connection to a 32-bit not so likely).

Settings from Windows:

Any ideas on translating that into vpnc or other connections so that I can connect remotely without running Windows in a virtual machine?

AdvTHANKSance.

Fixed it myself. Seems that the VPN client just works when I removd an old Cisco VPN client install. Oh well - not so much of a problem after all.

Hi,
Do you have the file format for these information?
I need to know what are these options are and the format and so on.
I mean, I need a documentation.
Do you have any links or documents?

Thank you in advance,
Arsham
