Hello All,

From where can I download free vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.7.00.0640-k9.tar.gz? It seems its Cisco properietary software?

Thanks & best regards, RAKESH

Using http://www.google.com/linux entering in the search term:

vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.7.00.0640-k9.tar.gz

Take the first hit: http://www.cs.uu.nl/technical/servic...-download.html

Thanks for the link.

I tried Google first before sending the post. Some how it did not return the link you have sent. It returned link for a site
for which you must be registered user (& possibly staff of that Univ was only registered). Another Univ was there but non-English site. Third was Cisco site itself talking about license etc. That's why I sent the post. May be I made some mistake in search.

Thanks again. Best regards, RAKESH

Hello Again,

I tried the link sent by you. Now I see this is the site I had also hit by google search & is the same which I mentioned in previous post asking for ID (Solis-ID)& Password? What are these Solis-IDs & how to get one?

Thanking you. Best regards. RAKESH

Hello,

Finally, I managed to download the VPN client tar.gz file from a site which is basically a non-english site but had link for download.

Anyway, I followed the instructions given in the tutorial for installing VPN Client but unfortunately make got the errors as included here. Kindly suggest.

Thanking you. Best regards, RAKESH

you need to install kernel headers. may i suggest using vpnc instead of the cicsco own client? it's much simpler and much less illegal to obtain from random download sites.
