Setup Microsoft VPN client to access Cisco PIX VPN 1

[msworld]

We have a Cisco PIX 515 and users can access it using Cisco VPN client. However, we wonder if we can use Microsoft VPN client to access the PIX VPN? If yes, how to do so or please refer to a web site?

Hi,

The easiest way is to use the PDM. Launch it and select 'Wizards', 'VPN Wizard'. Follow the instructions and choose PPTP. Personally, if I were you I'd stick with the Cisco VPN Client - more secure and has it's own stateful firewall should you choose to enable split tunnelling on the PIX.

Also, have a look at some of the previous threads here:
