Hugh, As long as you allowing UDP/500 to pass through, you should be OK. It looks like you are in your IPTables setup. One thing you could do is copy a Windows profile over to your Linux setup. Goto: C:\Programs and Settings\Cisco\Profile\profile.pcf (you mileage will vary) and copy the file straight away into you profile directory on the Linux box. It should work fine. Also, you may want to double check your start up. Make sure you have the VPNCLIENT working (/etc/rc.d/init.d/CISCOVPN start) and then sh# vpnclient connect <profile_name WITHOUT the extension> It should connect you from that.

I will double check my handling for the group and user name/passwords in the profile. Besides that does my setup appear viable? Thanks muchly!
