When working with your new version of Windows Vista, after you install your Cisco VPN Client software – which I did – you might get the error:
“Reason 403: Unable to Contact Service Gateway”
This is due to the fact that your VPN software will not work on Vista. There is presently a version out there (in beta) that works on Vista and you can find it here:

This install worked perfectly for me.
