Thanks. I just installed an updated Cisco client. I'll give that a shot when I get home tonight. I'll copy the config off the working Desktop and try that.

It was at an event where we had six setup for use, but only one was exhibiting the problem. What we finally discovered was a specific Windows Update Patch was causing the problem. The other 5 did not have that patch installed. Our final solution was to save the config for the Cisco client, uninstall the Cisco Software and install the latest version of the Cisco Client. Then use the saved client and everything was fine again. We ended up having to do that on all six as we installed that specific patch on each one. Not sure if that will help you, just what we discovered. -----Original Message----- From: My New Display Name for Bob. :) [mailto:don....@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2011 10:50 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: VPN problems His wife is probably gun shy of letting him use her PC because it still works...

That's what I'm thinking, but I don't know of anything that has changed. I just looked at the TCP/IP properties of the NIC on the laptop and saw that there was a Vipre Firewall plugin. I just disabled that plugin, since we're not using the firewall here... maybe that'll fix it.

If you are on the same network as another computer that is working, then you have something unique on the non-working computer that is causing the problem. For example, that whole split-tunneling thing that people keep mentioning. And while I doubt it is an issue here, I know from personal experience that the Microsoft Firewall Client (part of ISA, not to be confused with the Windows Firewall (and, really, why would you be--that's hardly a confusing naming scheme at all)) will not work in conjunction with the Cisco VPN client.

Not sure about the last question, but either way, as long as it works on my wife's desktop, but not on my laptop (when I'm at home OR out on the road) it shouldn't matter, should it? I think everyone keeps overlooking the fact that it works at home ON MY WIFE'S DESKTOP, but NOT on my company laptop, when at home OR on the road. I tried it plugged up to an Ethernet jack at a seminar Tuesday and it did not work. I tried it wirelessly at McDonald's and while I was able to get around, surfing the web and even SSH into my linux box at home, I was not able to RDP while connected to the VPN. I also plugged up to the Ethernet at home and tried to VPN and RDP from the same physical network as my wife's PC, and was unable to connect via RDP. Cisco client *said* I was connected, but I was unable to get past the firewall at the office.

The VPN client has to decide whether to send traffic through the VPN tunnel or over the local network. This decision is based on the split tunneling settings (as indicated below) and the available/advertised routes on both networks. Generally speaking, if the VPN client has an IP address that is also in the range of a network on the other side (think private addresses), you can have issues--some of which can be mitigated with the split tunneling settings.
