Hey Bob,

 

I don't think it's possible "out of the box."  That being said, my
initial thought would be to add your own ingenuity! J

 

Take a look here on how to script the VPN client through a DOS batch
file:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/vpn_client/cisco_vpn_client/vpn
_client46/administration/guide/vcAch5.html

 

Perhaps use IF/THEN logic with ICMP pings to verify connectivity to a
server and when the ping fails, re-issue the connect command to the VPN
client.  Then, compile this script as a *.exe and start it as a service
so it's transparent to the user, but starts when the VPN client is
started up.  If you kept your pings small (ping -l 64 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX),
you wouldn't have to worry about killing your bandwidth.

 

Just my two cents....

 

HTH,

Subject: OT: Cisco VPN Client - auto reconnect

 

 

I have several PCs using the Cisco VPN Client to connect to our VPN
Concentrator.

 

If the VPN drops for some reason, the Cisco client does not
automatically reconnect, but requires the user intervention.

 

I have looked but cannot find anywhere to make it auto-reconnect.  

 

Now, I know how to make it auto-connect at startup, but that is not what
I am after.  I want it to reconnect after a dropped VPN connection.

 

The MS pptp client could do that....
