Thanks for trying out the client software.

It sounds like there may be some problems with dialog layout. Activity 
will not be displayed in client log window until the connect button is 
pressed. Are you not seeing the connect or cancel button at the bottom 
of the VPN client dialog?

Also, there should be some output in the log window if the loglevel is 
set to 3. For example, here is the output before a connection attempt is 
made ...

## : IPSEC Daemon, Feb 25 2006

ii : rebuilding interface list ...
ii : interface IP=x.x.x.x, MTU=1500 active
ii : 1 adapter(s) active

... Are you at least see this much output in the logfile that is 
generated in the debug directory?

Virtual adapters are created and destroyed dynamically when connections 
are made. They will not show up in the network properties but should be 
visible if you run ipconfig from a command line when a tunnel is active.
