[nmglug] ftp over vpn,

[Ed Brown]

I really think they need to provide you with those parameters, though
they might be calling them something else, perhaps "GroupName" (for ID),
and "ISPConnect" (for secret).  These are the parameter names from a
Cisco vpnclient config file, that I think correspond to the vpnc config
items.

They are using a Cisco VPN concentrator?

Your ip address is 192.168... indicates that NAT, network address
translation, is involved.  That's a wrinkle I don't have any experience
with, in relation to VPN.  I believe the Cisco client can deal with NAT,
but I don't see anything in the vpnc docs.  That could be an issue.

Perhaps you need to do a 'vpnc-disconnect', or manually kill an existing
vpnc process to free up port 500?
