Re: Windows 7 and a Cisco 3000 series concentrator

[Andrew Davis <Andrew.Davis () RCC EDU>]

Hello,

I had no luck getting the Windows 7 built-In VPN client to connect to our Cisco 3000 series concentrator. In searching 
for an answer, I did find a free VPN client that works with Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit). It is very simple to use and can 
import Cisco PCF files.

It is made by a company called Shrew Soft Inc.
www.shrew.net

It is called the Shrew Soft VPN Client. That is the best solution I could come up with.

If someone has successfully got the Windows 7 VPN client to connect to a series 3000 concentrator, I would be very 
interested to hear how you accomplished such a feat.

Good afternoon,

   I am looking to see if someone solved a Windows 7 <--> Cisco 3000  
series VPN Concentrator connection using the default//built in  
"connect to a network" VPN client.

   I know about the NCP client.  I know about the AnyConnect client.   
I know about the 32-bit vs 64-bit "controversy".  I just would like to  
know about the WIn7 default VPN beast.
