 + 
 +If you get the following error:  **vpnc-connect: no response from target**\\ 
 +try adding the line below to your configuration file (unibz.conf) 
 + 
 +**NAT Traversal Mode cisco-udp** 
 + 
 +---- 
 + 
 +When one attempts to connect to their VPN after installing and configuring vpnc on Ubuntu Oneiric,\\ 
 +the following error occurs: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +root@ubuntu:~# vpnc-connect 
 +Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "ipid" is a garbage. 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +It appears that the Ubuntu package vpnc comes with an old version of vpnc-script.\\ 
 +This script is what sets up all the addresses and routes for you. The OpenConnect project\\ 
 +provides an updated / revised release of this script. Download the latest copy from [[http://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/vpnc-scripts.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/vpnc-script|here]].\\ 
 +Replace the vpnc-script script that comes with the Ubuntu vpnc package: /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script
