Can't connect to Cisco VPN Devices
This works fine with the "+Cisco VPN Client+" Application, which *can successfully connect to our LAN* from outside the network; *but it's NOT possible to do this with Mac OS X's built-in VPN Client:*
We have created an VPN Connection in the Network Preferences (VPN-Type: Cisco IPSec) and _entered everything exactly in the same way as in Cisco's VPN Client_, but the Mac always says that it +can't reach/connect to the VPN Server...+
We have also tried out almost everything in the encryption section of the Firewall, but no success. 😟
+(The ONLY working way is to enable PPTP on the Firewall together with Mac OS X's VPN-PPTP Connection, but this encryption type is not save enough for our requirements.)+
So - I cant understand why Apple offers a way to connect to Cisco VPN Devices although it's not possible to create a connection to them. 😟
*Any ideas? I'd really be glad for a helping hand!*
