Please forgive me for my lack of tech knowledge in my description of this issue.

I am having difficulties connecting to my work VPN now that I'm running Snow Leopard. Previously had no issues installing and running whatever necessary for the VPN in 10.5.8

Issue: Logging into the VPN from the web site results in broken network connection.

steps:
- 1st run - Sudo /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
(This of course open safari as sudo)

- Navigate to the remote site and Login: At this time the website loads a few items "Tun/Tap" driver is one, an "accept certificate" box opens also along with a box that says "MacOS L3VPN Client" with IP address and the Bytes sent/received section

- At this point normally the browser changes to a "connected" state and I can go about my business on my work network. What is happening is the browser stalls and returns a "You are not connected to the internet" page and the network connection is broken. Closing the browser will not fix the network connection, at this point I have to remove the connection in settings and recreate it OR a reboot.

Points of interest:
- issue seems to only affect machines with clean Snow installation
- machines upgraded from 10.5.8 work without issue
- Hammers are not a solution

I have tried installing the latest Tun/Tap driver from the site but that doesn't seem to make a difference.


Any Ideas?
thanks
