Unable to communicate with the vpn subsystem

[spritzdog]

I recently upgraded my mac to Leopard, 10.5.1 and cannot access the VPN client. I am using version 4.9.00 Help?

I had the same problem, and searched around for a while and found this fix:

http://www.anders.com/cms/192/CiscoVPN/Error.51:.Unable.to.communicate.with

In short, open a Terminal and enter this command:

sudo /System/Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN/CiscoVPN restart

It worked for me on the first try.

(thanks a lot, Apple, for wasting one of my telecommute days.)
