Once connected, the Cisco SSL VPN client automatically minimises to the 'System Tray' (in the bottom right corner) and usually Auto-hides.

Right-click the Tasklbar (the strip accross the bottom of your screen) | select 'Properties'

'Customize' and set to 'Show icon and notifications' for the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Connected:

Either,

Check (tick) the 'Always show all icons and notifications on the tasbar' option (bottom left corner)

or

Once connected, all your web traffic flows through the SSL VPN so if you want to view any non-Lincoln website whilst connected, you need to use the Lincoln web proxy server.
The easiest way of doing that is setting your web browser to automatically detect a proxy server then it will work fine when you are connected directly to the Internet as well.
This is how to configure Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) to autmatically detect a proxy server. Once this setting has been changed, it will remain this way so this is usually a one-off setup requirement
