    I have Cisco VPN Client for Linux and Solaris Release 3.7
    It works. But the behaviour is very strange. The Client machine gets its
    IP address changed dynamically
    and does not respond if accessed by its original static IP so long as
    VPN is running. Instead the Server
    machine retains its original IP address working.
    Moreover, if I start VPN CLient remotely on my home computer from the
    lab computer (Server) then I cannot reach my home computer any more from
    the lab.
    We are wondering whether this is the standard VPN behaviour or maybe
    firewalls cause that ???
