Cisco VPN Client Compatibility
The remote VPN client can be a Cisco device acting as a Cisco VPN hardware client or a PC running the Cisco VPN Client software (Release 4.x or 5.x).
I used 5.0.07.0240 cisco client vpn for 1 mth with my windows 7 -64 bit pc. Worked fine for 1 mth. Suddenly today when I double click on the icon to start it up, VPN automatically minimizes down to the task bar with a status of Disconnected. Download and install the Cisco VPN client (32 or 64 bit) from Firewall.cx’s Cisco Tools & Applications section. Optional: Uninstall the SonicWALL Global VPN Client. Front End to VPNC, a command line VPN client for Cisco VPN hardware. This client is known to work on: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 2008 and Windows 7. It supports both 32 bit (x86) and 64 bit (x64/x8664).
