Re: Cisco VPN Client Weirdness

[Roger Wright]

No, their using different IP schemes.  Replacing the Linky with a DLink did
the trick.  Tried a Netgear unit first - it wouln't pick up an IP address
when connected to the cable modem, but did just fine on the internal
network.

Could it be that the router at home is using the same ip address as the
VPN at work?

I ran into strange problem when using 192.168.0.X at home and work.

Changed one to 192.168.100.x and no problems.

The most recent analysis shows that the issue only shows up when making
a VPN connection through a Linksys WRT54G2 router.  If I remove the
router from the path I'm able to map drives just fine.

 

I have an older WRT54G at home - no issues.  Belkin or DLink router -
fine.

 

Gee... you'd think a Linksys by Cisco router would be fully compatible

One other thing to consider is the NIC setting for DHCP or is there an

ArghI'm pulling my hair out on this one!

New R500 laptop with Cisco VPN client on Windows XP.  I can make the
tunnel connections all day long but can't hit any resources inside the
network.  I've noticed that when the VPN is active my gateway IP is the
same as the VPN-assigned machine IP so I guess that makes sense.

But this happens regardless of which VPN endpoint I hit, which creds I
use, wired or wireless NIC, etc.   And on this machine only.  And when
comparing the client settings with another they appear identical.

I've removed and reinstalled the OS, the Cisco client, reverted to a
previous version, logged in locally, etc, etc, - no go.

Any suggestions?

RE: Cisco VPN Client Weirdness

Is this possibly an MTU issue.  Have you tried manually reducing the MTU
size when using the networks that don't work properly?  Google MTU size
and look for registry settings to change it manually.  Alternatively,
there used to be a utility called DrTCP (http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp
<http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp> ) that would give you a GUI to make
the changes.

 

I'd try this and see if it makes a difference.

Looks like I got it working... partially.

I renamed the machine just in case there was an issue with certificates
or something.  No change in behavior.

Manually removed all things Cisco from the drive and registry, rebooted
and reinstalled the client, and rebooted again.

If I connect to an available unsecured wireless network and then make
the VPN connection, I can map internal resources (but not ping).

If I connect to to an available WPA2 wireless network I can make the VPN
connection but cannot connect to internal resources.

In both cases the default gateway on the Cisco virtual adapter is blank.
However, on my personal machine that gateway address is 10.0.0.1.

On my home network (WPA2) I connected to the VPN and mapped drives no
problem. 

Apparently there's an issue with the WPA2 network available from my
office, but I can't imagine what it is since I can connect and map
drives fine using other machines over that wireless network.

Try a different user ID and password and also verify that the default
gateways for the machines are pointing toward the 506.  I had a
misconfiguration of default gateways do this to me.  Took me about an hour
to figure it out as I never looked at that after I set up the machines.

Yep... right credentials, same as on any other machine.  Copied the .PCF

Just reinstalled AGAIN, this time I cleaned Cisco stuff from the registry

Definitely the only machine with the issue.   I'll check the MTU settings...

Re: Cisco VPN Client Weirdness

[Jon Harris]

Have you verifed that all the user ID's and passwords match?  I seem to
remember that there was a setting for the VPN client to have a seperate user
ID and password which was fixed on the firewall.  Depending on if you are
using Radius type authenication or not would decide if you could go further
than just creating the tunnel, i.e. using the tunnel.

RE: Cisco VPN Client Weirdness

[Rohyans, Aaron]

This is the *only* PC with these issues?  i.e. Other PCs can access this
vpngroup within your PIX and get to resources just fine?  If so, check
MTU settings on the client... try pinging internal resources using "ping
1.1.1.1 -l 32" from DOS.  If that works, start bumping up the value
after -l higher and higher until pings fail.  Then, use the Set MTU
utility to decrease the maximum MTU for the client.

 

If this *isn't* the only PC suffering from the problem... check your NAT
settings.  If you can connect just fine, but not access any resources...
chances are, they're being NATed on the return trip and shouldn't be.

 

Hope this helps,

Re: Cisco VPN Client Weirdness

[Roger Wright]

PIX 506, I believe, and we have one for each remote office.  I can connect
to any of them, but the Cisco VPN Adapter gets the same gateway address as
the machine does.
This is the only machine with the issue.  I do get name/IP resolution so DNS
is good, but can't ping by name or IP because the gateway is incorrect.

RE: Cisco VPN Client Weirdness

[John Aldrich]

Question - you say "I can make the tunnel connections all day long but can't
hit any resources inside the network." Can you ping anything by IP inside
the network? I cannot make a connection to anything in my network by machine
name, but if I know the IP, I can  usually RDP into the machine in question
(assuming it's set up to allow it.)

 

Our VPN vendor made some tweaks to my connection in the AS/400 to add our
DNS servers whenever I connect, so I can now (mostly) connect by name, but
before I could only do it by IP address.

ArghI'm pulling my hair out on this one!

 

New R500 laptop with Cisco VPN client on Windows XP.  I can make the tunnel
connections all day long but can't hit any resources inside the network.
I've noticed that when the VPN is active my gateway IP is the same as the
VPN-assigned machine IP so I guess that makes sense.

 

But this happens regardless of which VPN endpoint I hit, which creds I use,
wired or wireless NIC, etc.   And on this machine only.  And when comparing
the client settings with another they appear identical.

 

I've removed and reinstalled the OS, the Cisco client, reverted to a
previous version, logged in locally, etc, etc, - no go.

 

Any suggestions?

What is your end-point?  PIX, ASA, VPN Concentrator?

I assume that this is the only machine having this problem?

OK crazy question but is this a 32 0r 64-bit OS?  Cisco VPN Client will not 
work on 64-bit.

Once you connect the VPN, can you access any local or non-vpn resources?
Like go to google.com?

Is windows firewall running?

What does the VPN log show? Anything of interest?
