Thank you for the script abc0502, i will test it on win xp machine and update how it works.

need a similar kind of script for win 7 machines - cisco vpn client. If anyone can help , much appreciated !!

[abc0502]

and update how it works.

what do you mean? if you asking about the batch you just modify the red line with the server and port you connect to,
and then run the batch it will ask for a user and password and profile name and then connect automatically

need a similar kind of script for win 7 machines

I will test it soon on 7 and give you the complite script that work for both but the connection to the vpn i didn't tested because i never used a vpn before, you test it

[abc0502]

i have one more question, when you set the proxy do you want a feature that restore the setting again to the default or the changes will be permanent, if so the last batch should work on windows 7 too
