Just purchased a Mac Book Pro OS X Jaguar. I'm having a problem connecting to work via cisco vpn darwin.x. My system admin thinks it's a laptop issue. I've been reading some on the internet, but not much on Jaguar as yet.

I've seen articles that talk about the latest updates which I believe where done on the laptop. Does anyone have any ideas or advise.

I have all the correct info and accounts for vpn to my network and software installed and running but it fails to connect.

Thanks. :eek:

Macs are designed to be used with the version of osx that came with it or after it, not with older versions as they lack drivers etc, that could be your problem, unless you mean leopard as above?

He could also mean that he bought a Powerbook G4 w/Jaguar

Yeah, i know. But i still have people going around our company calling the Macbook Pro a 'TiBook'. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the correction. The OS is Leopard; my mistake.

It is the latest Mac Book Pro with the Core 2 Duo processor.

Is the VPN client you are using Intel-native and Leopard-compatible? If it is, then this won't be a problem. If not, you may see issues such as...
  • Being forced to run applications in Rosetta in order to work with them inside your VPN
  • Connection instability/failures

I am going to go out on a limb and say you aren't aware that there was actually a Mac OSX Jaguar??? Because if you did know that it wouldn't be funny...

i think leopard does not support VPN yet. Am i right?

No, that's not correct. ;)

To the OP, try a different version of the Cisco VPN client. We use Cisco at my University and when Leopard first came out there were a lot of problems finding a version of the client that worked. The one I am using now is version 4.9.01 (0100).

I am aware, but it would still be funny if there was a new version and thats how it started.
