You might want to check Shrew:

Shrew Soft Inc : Download : VPN Client For Windows

I use it in Win 7 Ent. 64-bit. It even can read Cisco's settings. Works fast and is reliable. Oh yes, it's of course free.

Tried Shrew, and could not get it to work either. According to their blog they're still working on it.

Simple use this version described here: Cisco Blogs Community, Network Support, Opinions, News at the Cisco blog community.
Just download this version and you shouldn't have to worry about anything. As a matter of fact the 5.x version mentioned here and the 160 both work just fine now.

A previous poster is correct and I talk about it a bit on the blog for those of you who are able to use Cisco anyconnect I have some additional information about it here. Cisco Blogs Community, Network Support, Opinions, News

Found this doing yet another search for an IPsec client. Anybody have any experience with this?

Hi there, Kevin.
I have used Greenbow before for access to a 3rd party. It is pretty cheap but not as easy as AnyConnect.

Yeah I looked at the setup, interesting to say the least, but unfortunately a lot of the VPN's I am going into are CISCO PIX devices running IPsec and I am on Win7 Ultimate 64 and from what I have seen AnyConnect doesn't play in that arena.

Just got the new CISCO VPN Client software for 64 bit OS. I'm going to give it the acid test this weekend. Maybe finally I can connect to the PIX devices......

I'm running now Cisco 5.0.07.0290 in my Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. First day with two sessions (8 hours + 2 hours). Running without any problems so far...

just took em awhile
