Hello everyone,
I've been trying to get my Mac to connect to my employer's Cisco VPN via Airport. I currently have an older Airport card in my laptop (802.11b)--not an Extreme card (although I expect to have a new PB with an AEx sometime this fall.) Here's the deal: I can ONLY get a connection to the VPN via a hard-line Ethernet cable. When I try to use my Airport, it's no joy.
My network gurus tell me that Airport won't work with Cisco VPN systems. Linksys routers on Windows systems, they say, are the only wireless solutions. But they're all Windows guys, anyway, so I thought I should check among those who understand the true path in the digital wilderness instead...
By the way, I did look in Apple's KB and I found nothing conclusive.
Any thoughts?

A search on google might give some workarounds; this is the first link found googling on airport cisco vpn:
Cisco VPN link via airport, how?
Seems like it needs a Snow or Extreme base station; you don't mention what base station you're using...

eelseyes - do you ave the Cisco VPN client configured to use TCP or UDP?
I use a Cisco VPN client to connect to work from home (original model airport base station connected to DSL modem - my TiBook has an original airport card). For reasons I do not understand, I have always had to configure the VPN client to "Use IPSec over UDP", not TCP. I also have to do this for my PIV WinPC, which uses a netgear PCI wireless card and connects to the DSL via the same airport base station.
