Re: [PCTECH] VPN Set-Up (Cisco)

Your network people should provide you with Group Access Information, which
you will need to connect.
They'll also tell you the public IP number they want you to come in on.
You probably want to select "Enable Transparent Tunnelling, Allow IPSec over
UDP" and also check "ALLOW local LAN access". 
 These settings are all on the Properties page of the Cisco vpn icon.

Subject: Re: [PCTECH] VPN Set-Up (Cisco)
 
I was looking for a "you should not do that" type of answer. I already know
there are pluses and minuses to doing it.  Also, it looks like Cisco already
handles the issues some people have.  From the Cisco VPN Client help: "The
VPN
Client includes an integrated stateful firewall that provides protection
when
split tunneling is in effect and protects the VPN Client PC from Internet
attacks while the VPN Client is connected to a VPN Concentrator through an
IPSec
tunnel. This integrated firewall includes a feature called Stateful Firewall
(Always On)."
 
I was looking to hear from people who have this type of set-up and can point
me
to the proper docs.  Cicso has a lot of docs on their sight and I was hoping
for
a pointer to one or two that would help me down the right path.
 
Thanks,
    Scott
