Set a friend up with a new computer, put vista 64 on it since thats the only logical thing to do, but he needs to vpn to work to get to a web server on the lan.

The cisco client doenst install on 64 bit and it seems that they want to just sell a new solution with a new client.

I found a trial of something and installed it and it worked, but its expiring soon and its $250 US to purchase so not an option.

Any other cheaper solutions?

Have you tried Hamachi? Not an ipsec client, but a good VPN nonetheless...

Havent tried it, does it do ipsec? the pages all just say that they use UDP to connect, which I dont know if they really mean ipsec on 10000 or something propriatory. Its quite a drive to his place to try it, and I cant get in from here because of IP restritions on at the target network.

It's a proprietary system - if you are looking for an ipsec client then this is not for you. If you are looking for an alternative VPN solution then it's worth looking at it.
