The connector is actually a vpnc-compatible CISCO VPN Client. I can actually establish a connection to the VPN gateway from Debian, but it does not allow me to reach any hosts. On Windows, after the VPN connection is established, a Cisco Clean Access Agent does a few checks and then validates the connection. There is no agent that runs on Linux and the only way to get access to the network is after validating the Windows machine via this CCA Agent. There used to be an authentication page for when somebody connected from a non-Windows OS, but that's gone too, so I am really stuck to using the VPN from Windows. Stupid, I know... Any other ideas?
