I previously asked a question about whether it was possible to use Cisco VPN client on Windows 7 64-bit (see below). Now that I have it set up, it doesn't work when I try to connect off the local network. I realize that there must be some networking/routing that I need to do since it's running on a virtual machine. How does one go about using the Cisco VPN client from XP mode in Windows 7?

I've used Shrew Soft VPN and VPNC Front End as alternatives to Cisco's own client on Windows 7 x64. Both worked but I had to manually tweak the routing tables to when connecting from my home LAN. Also, VPNC FE didn't work out of the box. It did when I installed OpenVPN TAP driver before it (downloaded OpenVPN, unchecked everything but the driver in its installation program). | |||

I figured out how to do this. You just need to change the network adapter for the virtual machine (simple instructions on this blog post):

I made these notes so I can look back on them in the future. Cisco anywhere connect client from XP mode virtual PC On win7 Start- All Programs - Windows virtual PC - Windows Virtual PC - right click the name of the virtual PC -Setting - Networking (on the left hand side). Select the physical adapter you will make the connection to the outside world with (if its a network cable at work then select that or if its through the wireless card from your home network then select that. XP mode Connect to the XP machine and once connected click on Tools (at the top of the window) and click on Disable Integated Features. Now you can connect using the Cisco Connect Anywhere utility to connect to the University servers but without Integrated featured enabled you won't be able to run xp application from Windows 7 | |||
