[c-nsp] Cisco VPN client on Mac OS X 10.4 - still broken?

[Richmond, Jeff (ELI)]

I have had a TAC case open since the evening of 5/13 on this and have been working daily with my SE and the TAC on trying different things to isolate the problem. Indeed, in my case at least, the CLI method is broke as well. This is on a Powerbook G4 12" running 10.4.1...

I just got an email this morning on a possible fix for the hanging disconnect issue, so will be trying that out later today. If it does fix that issue, I'll post the workaround. Of course, this makes no difference at all if the actual tunneling mechanism is still broke, but at least it would be some progress.

Regards,
-Jeff

Dennis (and others),

Apparently the workaround given thus far has been to use the text-mode 
client however that also doesn't appear to work.

We have opened a case with the TAC and are working to resolve the problem.

There *is* a light at the end of the tunnel!
