Before downloading the Cisco VPN Client for Windows Vista/7, it is critical that you review the following information.

There are several known issues that will prevent this application from being installed on some computers. If it is properly installed, you will still need to download, install, and import a configuration file separately. Finally, if you are using any networking hardware that uses Network Address Translation (NAT), you may be required to update the hardware's firmware in order to be able to successfully use the VPN client.

Due to the potential complications inherent with this installation, Bruin OnLine recommends that you use the built-in PPTP. Instructions for configuring PPTP are located here:
