Modem users: Make sure you have dialed in to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) before making a VPN connection. Note: You must have an active connection to the Internet before proceeding. For more information, see: Cisco An圜onnect VPN Client at MIT. If for some reason neither the ActiveX or Java clients work, you will be given the option to manually download and install the software. Installation and startup are initiated via a web page that installs and launches a signed ActiveX or Java VPN client to connect to MIT's service quickly and easily. The new Cisco An圜onnect VPN client and service will work under Mac OS X (including 10.6 Snow Leopard), Windows (Vista and Windows 7, including 64-bit versions), and Linux. Cisco's An圜onnect VPN is a web browser launch-able VPN client that works on a wide variety of operating systems and hardware configurations.
