This is a public service announcement...
If you are a part of the reletively small subgroup of people who use Mac OS X and Cisco's VPN client, you no doubt have come across an error message that prevents you from starting the program after putting your computer to sleep or losing your internet connection. It would say something like this:
"Error 51: Unable to communicate with the VPN subsystem"
Well, there's an easy fix for this that others more knowledgeable than me devised. However, I took the liberty of putting their ideas into a simple application. Click here to download an image file which include the application, instructions, and an optional Applescript file. Hopefully a few people will be able to make use of it.
Update: It appears from my own testing that this workaround may not be necessary for version 4.9 of the VPN client. If you find this to not be the case with you, please let me know!
