First of all you can watch the customized grml CD with ASCII Bootloader here:
To play this you will need mplayer with VMware Codec, or if you running windows you can download from VMware the right codec.
Great! I really like your booting sequence! :) I'm very interested to see it integrated in grml itself.
Now to my Problem. I've compiled the Cisco VPN Client (4.7.00 (0640)) to my grml CD. I've network connectivity no firewall running or iptables activ but I cannot establish a VPN Session. Im using nothing special standard RJ45 Network with activ DHCP Server @ Router. All works well Internet works..., but I'm getting the follow message if I try to establish a VPN Connection:
Initializing the VPN connection. Contacting the gateway at 194.x.x.x Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client Reason: Failed to establish a VPN connection
I don't understand why Im getting this message. Once after lot of try & error I could establish the VPN Session but didn't know why :). I thought, it could be a problem with the ifplugd but if I uninstall this daemon it also don't work :(.
On google I found lot of guys that have same problem but that was on wireless connection, Im not using this kind of connection.
Hope someone got a good idea or a way to find out what the problem could be.
Strange is also if I look at netstat -ta I see the connection that should be established is not the Server its the grml localhost :(
What VPN concentrator are you connecting to? Try to establish a connection using vpnc instead of using Cisco VPN Client, does this work for you?
