VPN Instructions

There are two basic ways to connect:

A.  Cisco VPN client (traditional VPN client)

1. From a computer on JCU's campus, download the following client, jcu.bat, and jcu.pcf and save them to a CD, Zip disk or USB Flash Drive:
   • Cisco VPN Client
   • jcu.bat file
   • jcu.pcf file (download this file with a right click, select "save target as", then select appropriate device.  Unfortunately, IE defaults to appending ".txt" to the end of plain-text files.  Choose "all files" dropdown file type rather that the default "text document" when saving through IE.)
2. Copy these three files to your remote PC's desktop.
3. Double-click on the Cisco VPN Client to install it on your remote PC.
4. Run jcu.bat (if this does not work, create a "Profiles" directory in "C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\" and copy jcu.pcf into it.) 
5. Run the Cisco VPN Client after connecting to the Internet via your modem, DSL or Cable, choose the JCU Connection Entry, and click Connect.   This can be found in Start -> All Programs -> Cisco Systems -> Cisco Systems VPN Client -> VPN Client.
6. Use your Campus Domain username and password to log in when prompted.
   

B.  WebVPN

1. Open http://marvin.jcu.edu in a web browser (IE and Firefox have been tested and both seem to work).
2. Login to the WebVPN browser that pops up with your Campus Domain username and password.
