We're trying to get
the cisco VPN
4.0.4.B client to work with
Fedora.
After whiping the
box clean and reinstalling a few times, I've verified that after a workstation
install the VPN client works fine.
Then after time it
breaks.
One method that
seems to break it for sure is to upgrade the kernal from the install version
of 2.6.5-1.358 to
2.6.6-1.435.2.1
After this
upgrade, the VPN will connect, and I can ping addresses, but DNS no longer
works.
It seems there are
other things that can break the DNS while on VPN but I haven't been able to pin
those down yet.
1) have others seen
problems with DNS over cisco VPN with FC2?
2) Is this kind of
posting suitable for this mailing list?
(Been programming
linux at work for a long time, but recently got so worried from security
issues with my home OS that I've just started using fedora for the
first time at home -- nice install by the way ! )

additional
details
A) after upgrading
the kernal the vpn software has to be recompiled and reinstalled, this was
expected
B) the NIC card is
PCMCIA so linux startup fails to start eth0 because PCMCIA hasn't been started
yet, then delays init and suceeds later on. This I think is normal,
and does NOT cause any problems for non vpn access.
