Cisco VPN question [SOLVED]

I don't know if this goes under newbie area or under Networking but I'm getting a remote helpdesk position and it requires a Cisco VPN client, which I think they will provide for 32 bit windows, not 64 bit.  I know it probably runs under 64 bit but it's not important.

Anyways, I got Arch64 running just perfect and am in no way getting rid of it, plus I don't feel safe with Windows anymore.

I have Windows 7 32-bit installed in Virtualbox.  If I install their or the Cisco VPN software in Windows 7 Virtualbox, will it work or do I have to run a Cisco VPN client from Arch, I have XFCE 4 installed?  I'm hoping to do this from Windows 7 inside the Vbox.

Re: Cisco VPN question [SOLVED]

yes it will work, however, you should set your windows 7 vm's network connection to be in bridged mode so that iptables firewall (if you have configured) doesnt interfere with it.
