Thanks chaps, but are there any known reasons why Macs wont connect to a windows based VPN ?
I can't find anything definite, just "well macs are shi**", which is true, but doesn't help.

A number of years ago, I was taking a class at the local community college online. At the intro meeting one of the students asked about getting a virus or something like that, and the instructor stated that we would be uploading our documents as Microsoft Word documents and that they couldn't get a virus in a Word document. A few days later, the first MS Word macro virus was found. I thought it was rather humorous.

They are secure in the ultimate as they simply don't talk to MS networks properly!!! No chance of it ever being hacked or getting a virus. Nothing including the user can get to it!!!

Macs work fine on the network, the encryption that they hate so much is turned off. Take them away, and they appear to connect but can't do bugger-all !!! Never a problem with Windows laptops, no, never. Always, ALWAYS with *********g MACS!!! Thanks Olly ________________________________ No virus found in this incoming message.
