If you ever get "Err...Cisco VPN works great on Mac. If you ever get "Error 51: Unable to communicate with the VPN subsystem" do "sudo /System/Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN/CiscoVPN restart".

My two college kids both switched to Mac's this year when their PC's died. (oddly after the first one got a new Mac, the second one's started having problems almost immediately - coincidence? - I think not) Anyway, we've been trying one out at the office to make sure we can get all the VPN clients to work, and Oracle, etc... We haven't looked at VMware yet (only Parallels) so we'll have to give that a look. Thanks for the info.Kerry Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129210709237272590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-518481768015386858.post-43037138013999860732008-06-22T15:12:00.000-04:002008-06-22T15:12:00.000-04:00Welcome to the club.I tried both Parallels and VMw...Welcome to the club.<BR/>I tried both Parallels and VMware Fusion and the latter is far superior when it comes to resource usage. I could run 3 node Linux RAC on my MacBook while with Parallels I'm struggling to run two nodes - both CPU cores are pretty busy on idle machine. I find Parallels is made only for Windows. Linux can run under parallels but only "somehow".<BR/>Well, that's a 4 month old experience but I doubt Parallels improved anything.Alex Gorbachevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03862972144277237798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-518481768015386858.post-85128895417573016742008-06-18T12:08:00.000-04:002008-06-18T12:08:00.000-04:00Congratulations on your new purchase.

However, I ...I actually really enjoy a Mac laptop. However, I will say that Parallels runs Windows flawlessly. What's more, you can download VirtueDesktops to have multiple windows (like X on *nix). So you can run OSX in one window and Windows fullscreen in another, then switch back and forth with hotkeys or even by smacking your laptop on the side (it uses the motion sensor in the laptop)!<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your Mac. =)Steve Karamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650887278789815855noreply@blogger.com
