Note:<\/strong> This version of the VPN Client is still under testing,<\/strong> and thus is not completely supported. <\/strong>However, if you have had problems with other versions of the VPN on Windows Vista, installing this version may fix them.<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do you have an older version of the Cisco VPN client installed already? If so, go to the Control Pane<\/strong>l, and select Add and Remove Programs<\/strong> (or “Uninstall Programs<\/strong>” in Vista). Click to remove the older Cisco VPN client. After that, reboot your computer, and you are ready to follow the instructions below.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on this link and Save<\/strong> the BU VPN client 5.0.04.0300 install exe file.<\/strong><\/a> Save it to the Desktop or a place where you can find it again easily.<\/strong> This VPN client is for Windows 2000, XP and Vista, 32-bit. However, we currently recommend it only for users of Vista<\/strong> who are experiencing problems with other versions of the VPN software.<\/li>\n
  3. When the download completes, open<\/strong> the file you downloaded (vpnclient-win-msi-5.0.04.0300-k9.exe) to start the installer. Because this is an executable file, Windows may ask your permission to open it. If so, say Yes<\/strong> or OK.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Follow the instructions in the installer. When the installation completes, you may be prompted to reboot.<\/strong> Please do.<\/li>\n
  5. Do you get a “DNE Install Error” at the end of the VPN install? If so, see the DNE Error Fix<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  6. The software is installed! You may now delete the BU-VPN5install.exe file you downloaded, if you wish.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Import Connection Settings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Once you have installed the Cisco VPN client, download (right-click and Save Link<\/strong>) vpn-oncampus.pcf<\/a> and vpn-offcampus.pcf<\/a>, then import like this: open VPN Client<\/strong>, go to the Connection Entries<\/strong> menu, and choose Import<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Make the Connection<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Now that you have the software installed, please see our illustrated instructions on making your VPN connection<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
