I've seen the inability to ping or map drives to any windows machine running any 3.6.x version of the vpn client. It has to due with stateful firewall that is built into clients. If you stop the cisco vpn service you regain connections to the windows box from the outside.

The IP address of this window machine is 172.16.1.200. I set up extended authentication on the Pix firewall for remote Cisco VPN users and everything is working great. The outside interface of the firewall is 172.16.1.1 with a netmask of 24 The problem is that whenever the windows is rebooted, no one on the 172.16.1.0/24 network can ping this Windows XP machine. I do have a unix machine on the same network (172.16.1.100). Basically the windows XP machine can not do anything because it has no network connectivity. Even the firewall can not ping the Windows XP machine. The only way for this to work is for me to "uninstall" Cisco VPN Client and reboot the Windows XP box. After the reboot, windows is working again. Now under Windows XP Task Manager, I do see a process "CVPND.exe" running that I don't recall with previous versions of Cisco VPN Client. Anyone has run into this problem before? Regards, David --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
