Cannot add VPN Client


Hi Friends:

I have started using Fedora 10 from 2 days.
I can connect wireless internet everywhere very easily but to connect at my university i need to configure cisco vpn client.
But my add button on vpn client is disabled. I have tried installing vpn client in vain.

Other option is to connect using certificate, but my university doesnt accept any certificate downlaoded from verisign getca nor they provide linux support

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Nitin

If you post here what you did to fix the problem, future searchers with the same problem might be able to resolve their issues as well.

Please at least point those users in the general direction...
