Aventail VPN Connect with SmartTunneling

1. Go to Utilities / Jave Preferences.
2. In the lower portion of the general tab, change the order in the Java Application window to be 32 bit 1st (just drag it to change the order).
3. That's it, Aventail should work on restart of the app.

Ferocius, Can you confirm if that worked or not?

didn't work for me. I tried this and made Safari run in 32bit mode and flushed the cache and cookies.
I read about it here: http://mike.crute.org/blog/2009/09/09/java-woes-on-snow-leopard-10-6/

Does not work on 64bit kernel. On my macbook this works when running 32bit kernel. On my macbook pro 64bit kernel, it fails to establish the tunnel. Is aventail connect depreciated? Perhaps there will be a 64bit solution released?

It worked for me. I couldn't get Aventail Connect to work in Leopard, it would connect and then disconnect. I was able to use Aventail from the browser and use the links inside the browser, but not the same experience as using Connect.

In Snow Leopard Aventail Connect would stay stuck on "Connecting...". Changing the Java preferences worked and I'm so happy, because before I had to do all of my work inside a Windows XP VM.

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro 5,5 with a 64bit kernel and it does not work for me. I've tried loading Java 1.6, 1.5 and 1.4 in 32 bit mode, Safari in 32 bit mode and it doesn't connect.
In Java 1.6 and 1.5 the "Applet XEPC started" appears in the status window and then hangs. After a second or two Safari will stop responding.
I did try booting into 64bit mode to see if it made a difference; it didn't, still causes a hang.

Has anyone found a solution that gets beyond this point for a 64bit kernel?
