If you can't ping out from the XP box then you have some other issue, but if the problem is only accessing the XP box from other machines then check the following: 1. Make sure that the Firewall Always On is not checked in the VPN Client settings. This setting is in effect even when the VPN Client is not in use. Keep in mind you will want to turn this back on if you connect this machine directly to the Internet and you aren't using the Windows XP built in firewall. 2. If the Firewall Always On is unchecked, make sure that the Windows XP Personal Firewall is not turned on for your network interface. This is located under the Advanced tab of your network adapter settings.

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!
