My work uses Juniper Network connection for the VPN solution. I have Slackware 12.2 at home. Assuming you install all the packages for Slackware the VPN doesn't work out of the box. Here are the steps I took to get it working:
- Make sure you have Java 1.6 JRE installed
- Launch Firefox 3
- Make sure your Java plug-in is loaded into Firefox
- Google "test Java" to test it
- Start the network connect via your VPN web site
- It will fail, but we need the initial files
- Open a terminal (I used Konsole)
- Add the tun device with the following commands
- sudo mkdir /dev/net
- sudo mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
- Relaunch the network connect via your VPN web site
- This time the connection will hold
