Hello Guys,
I have the need to connect to a Windows VPN I think getting the
requred details for the actual connection should be too hard. It is to
my school network. They distribute a Windows .exe which does all the
configuring, so details are not immediately obvious. But I want the
VPN to start right after my inet comes up. And most importantly, I
only want IPs in the schools IP block to route thoguh it.
Generic instructions will do, I should be able to fill in the details.
Thanks.
Arthur
If you use Gnome, you can also download the NetworkManager-vpnc plugin
for NetworkManager, and enable the NetworkManager and
NetworkManagerDispatcher services on startup instead of network, for
runlevel 5 (system-config-services). Then (after rebooting or at least
restart NM) it's as simple as connecting to the network with the
NetworkManager applet menu, then going to VPN Connections->Configure
VPN, and entering the info there.
vpnc is only for Cisco-compatible VPNs, afaik.
