The auto configure version of the VPN client is now on the website. I have tested it on two different machines, both XP, one with SP2 and one without. Make sure that if you are upgrading from the old version that you go ahead and uninstall it before installing this one, that should make things go smoothly. I'm still waiting to get the Mac, Linux, and Solaris versions. I realize this is very annoying for the Mac users, as the existing version doesn't work right for a lot of people. I will let you all know when that is available. Jeffrey Utter -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jeffrey A.

I am yet to receive the latest Mac, Linux, and Solaris versions. I also have not yet made the auto installer for the new version. So you will need to configure it yourself untill I get a chance to do that.

I am in a real time crunch, to get users at our research facility in Fennville MI up so they can access our file server. I appreciate your help.

I am working to get copies of the newer cisco client. Once the newer client has arrived I will post a message back here. Most of the bugs that are commonly mentioned should be taken care of with the newer releases. I appologize for the delay in receiving the newer versions.

It's documented at: http://network.msu.edu/public/vpn/ I'm glad you brought this up, because we have run into some problems with MSU's VPN access, especially with Windows 2000 clients (XP works pretty well). Is anyone else using MSU's VPN, especially with Windows 2000, and would be interested in discussing this on the list? Thanks.
