Still need VPN connection
Authored by: pcrawfor on May 07, '01 10:03:16PM

I have the Citrix Java Client installed but I have not tested it yet. I need to take the PowerBook G3 500, that has OS X on it, to work to connect to my company's network. I assume that it will work OK and I will report back in a few days on that.

What I really need is a Mac OS X VPN client that will let me connect to the LAN, on which the Citrix server is located, via the Internet. Presently I am using Virtual PC and Win2K to make a PPTP connection and then a Windows ICA client to connect to the Citrix server. I have tried the application "PPTP-gui", but it seems to do absolutely nothing. I have also heard that Apple may put a VPN client in OS X in a future update. Does anyone have any help on this?

Thanks and best regards,

Paul Crawford

Still need VPN connection
Authored by: pcrawfor on May 16, '01 10:51:50PM

So, I got the Java ICA client running when connected directly to the company network. The first time it crashed but the second and subsequent times it was fine. Unfortunately the Java client does not seem to have a full screen option and the application I am using needs a full 1024 x 768, but I lose the Mac menu bar and the window title bar at top.

Is there any way to get an application to go full screen?

Will Citrix develop a Mac OS X client?

How can I get a VPN connection to our company network from within OS X?

Thanks,

Paul Crawford
