Msstate VPN client for viewing ESPN3

[CopiahDawg]

Does anyone have experience connecting via VPN in order to watch ESPN3 because their local tv provider is carrying ESPN3?

I can't get it to work.

I tried using remote desktop to watch the game from the ECE department to no avail. I'll certainly be interested if you can prove otherwise.

I know someone who has done it. I will have to ask him in more details. I believe you must download the Cisco VPN client from ITS website.

Is this your first go with a VPN?

I have. We have a client that when i connect to their vpn it makes me look like i am in north carolina. I got the black out message on espn3 once, so i connected to the vpn and tried again. It worked. I cant remember what game it was.

I used it this weekend to watch the Duke - Virginia game, which was blacked out here in NC. What problems are you having with it?
