I'm trying to use the Mac Remote Desktop Client with a Web VPN
connection. It looks like I can successfully create the Web VPN
connection, but when I launch RDC, I get a "Client cannot connect to
remote computer". Windows boxes can successfully connect. Does anyone
know if Mac RDC 1.03 is compatible with a Web VPN connection?
thanks...

I'm not familiar with "Web VPN" connections. A VPN connection is a
private "tunnel" between two devices in two locations. If you're doing
anything through a web connection then I don't believe you're really
using VPN. If you're referring to Remote Web Workspace, this is not
compatible with Macs and itself is not a VPN connection.

Hope this helps! bill
