I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.6 and I have successfully installed VPN Client - darwin-4.9...sal-k9.dmg. When I go into Applications to launch I get the following error:

"Error 51: Unable to communicate with the VPN subsystem. Please make sure that you have at lease one network interface that is currently active and has an IP address and start this application again"

Tried a "sudo" quick fix from http://www.anders.co...ommunicate.with but that did not work.

Is there anything else I can do?

Hi Folks,

So it took several weeks and several forums but I was able to find a solution that worked! Turns out Leopard OS X does break the Cisco Systemsubnet. However Mac has a link which enables you to download the latest Cisco version. Once I downloaded and installed it worked GREAT!!!!!

I've pasted the link below I hope it helps someone out there.

Cheers!

Glad you found the fix. But especially taking the time to post the real fix for other members to view. B-)
