Yes. If you close the VPN Client window (the red bullet), the connection will disconnect, but you can minimize it (the yellow bullet) and keep the connection alive. If you want to have the window automatically minimized upon connection, click the Minimize on Connect box in the VPN Client/Preferences menu.

Double-click the Comcation dialer icon, click the properties button and select the General tab. Click the box "Minimize connect-time window". Click OK.

We've made available for download VPN Configuration Guides for most of the gateways we support on our web site support section, and there are some on Linksys. VPN Configuration Guides are either written by our partners or by our engineering team. We do support Linksys RV082 and Linksys BEFVP41. You might want to look at our answer about Linksys WRV54G.

You can minimize the window, by choosing Minimize in the system menu of the window. To show the system menu, click on the icon on the left in the title bar.

You can use the VPN software built into OS X 10.3 or greater instead of the Cisco client. The former is simpler to use but times out after two hours; the latter times out after eight hours. You can now select a configuration and connect and disconnect using the VPN icon ( ) on the status bar.

SSTP based -connection can be enabled on native RAS client UI (i.e. inside "network and sharing center"). For further details, refer to http://blogs.technet.com/rrasblog/archive/2007/01/16/using-secure-socket-tunneling-protocol-sstp-for-vpn.aspx Connection manager administration kit (CMAK) is enhanced to support SSTP and hence CM profile can be used to establish SSTP based VPN connection.

Yes, Senomix Timesheets may be used through a firewall or office Virtual Private Network. The network ports you need to clear or forward through your router are listed in the Installation Guide.

A VPN client is software that is installed on an individual's computer to allow the computer to connect to the University VPN and be authorized to access internal servers and services.

A common mistake when starting the client is to give the wrong server host name. The last synergyc command line option (Unix) or the "Server Host Name" edit field (Windows) should be the host name (or IP address) of the server not the client's host name.

In the VPN Client window highlight the profile you want to make the default and select Set As Default Connection Entry from the Connection Entries menu.

On campus, you will have a 10.228.0.0/16 address. Once the traffic leaves campus, it will be translated into an address in the UF NAT pool. CNS, in support of the Windows Vista effort on campus has released a Beta VPN client on the software downloads page (build 590). This should only be used for Windows Vista. Because it is not yet a supported client by Cisco, neither CNS nor the Helpdesk will support it. Please do not open problem tickets on Vista client issues.

The Connection Window is used for directly connecting to a Myster server and browsing it's file categories. Manually enter a server's IP address or domain name into the provided 'Enter IP' box, then press connect. The left most column lists the server's categories. The second column lists all the files in a specific category. The third, right-most column contains a preview window for information on the file being observed.

VPN is an acronym for Virtual Private Network. Sacramento State has adopted its use to improve network security when using the on-campus wireless network and accessing campus resources from off-campus through the Internet. Sacramento State users who access campus resources through the Internet, e.g. via their home Internet service provider, will be given a secure connection from their PC to the campus. All Internet packets are encrypted with a strong encryption algorithm.

If you run personal firewall software (for example, Black Ice), you must configure it to "trust" (allow access to) the VPN IP addresses. For information, call the UCit Help Desk at 556-4357. You cannot have Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing installed on Windows 98 or Windows 2000 or XP while you are running the VPN client. [Please see special note on VPN download page]

None. Any Windows workstation using Windows 98 or higher has Microsoft VPN (PPTP) built in which is compatible with BizGuardian's PPTP service.

The VPN client is a "shim" client. It inserts itself below your computer's native TCP/IP stack and intercepts all network traffic received or transmitted, encrypting and authenticating the data on the fly.
