VPN Virtual Adapter and Vista

I am running Vista for Business on my notebook and have installed VPN Client version 5.0.02.0090
Each time I try to connect to my network the VPN client times out and I get the message
Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client
Reason 442: Failed to enable Virtual Adapter
When I go to Device Manager and enable the VPN network adapter, it becomes disabled once I try to connect again.
I tried the softpedia.com/Tweak fix and it worked the first time I tried to connect, but once I disconnected the error came back again at subsequent tries.
This is pretty frustrating. Plse help. Thanx.

OK, I have come a little bit further with this problem. Some recent automatic updates by Windows Vista caused the client to stop working when it was working before.
I uninstalled all the updates (most were critical security patches which now leaves me vulnerable) and uninstalled the Cisco VPN client including scouring the Registry for anything remotely associated with the VPN such as any reference to 'CVPN' or 'Cisco'.
I then installed the latest VPN client (V 5.0.03.0560), and I DIDN'T reboot as it asked me too. The reason I thought this was a good idea is because after a reboot, the Network Connections are reset and re-assigned IPs which was, I started to think, part of the problem.
It Worked! I was able to start the client (that was already an achievement!) and, lo and behold, was able to connect without problems... I thought!
Now I have the following... when I connected to the VPN, I have limited access to the internet. Some sites are fine, others only load half-way and still others I can absolutely not connect to. The ones I can connect to load very very slow.
For now I have left it this way since I can (albeit handicapped) connect to the VPN so I have to keep connecting/disconnecting etc. It is still very frustrating.
However, I believe I know what the problem is, but I don't know how to solve it. If anyone here can use this information to take this one step further, we may get somewhere.
I believe it has to do with the TCP/IP settings where we now have both v4 and v6 running. I think the VPN is using one of these only, and when it is using it, it is not allowing any other traffic through it. I don't know how to solve this. I tried disabling one or the other in either Network Connection, but it either gives me no connection or limited connection.
The reason I think this is it is because some sites are loading/half loading when the VPN is connected... in other words, one of the TCP/IP protocals is open to the Internt traffic, the other is used by the VPN exclusively.
I tried looking for sharing and tunneling options in my VPN client and the Network Connections settings, but I can't find anything.
I am very hesitant to change any more settings since I do have a half-baked solution that at least allows me to meet the deadlines I have for my client.
Let's get this solved!

  • Setting Link Speed on VPN Virtual Adapter

    The link speed for the VPN Adapter used by the VPN Client is normally 1GB. Does anyone know how to chnage this? Some of my users are trying to use the feature in Outlook that will block large attachments when connected to a slow (dilaup) connection. Outlook however sees tha 1GB connection and does not block the attachments.

    With a dual band AirPort Extreme, both the 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band are being broadcast with the same network name. A computer, or your AirPort Express, will connect to the band with the best (strongest) signal.
    Without knowing anything about the layout of your home and location of your devices, my guess would be that the extending AirPort Express sees a better signal at 2.4 GHz, so that is what it extends. Remember, the AirPort Express cannot extend both the 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band at the same time.
    If the iMac is closer to the AirPort Express than it is to the AirPort Extreme, it's going to pick up the signal from the AirPort Express.
    Is that a possibility?

  • CMI adapter and Vista security issues

    Hi,
    We have recently noticed that most of our vista users are complaining that they are unable to run courses despite downloading the latest JRE. On investigating we found that unless we lower the security in IE on Vista CMI adapter aplet is blocked by Vista.
    We run iLearn5.0 - any solutions?
    Kg

    See if using the signed applet resolves the security issue.
    Add the following parameter at the end of the CMI Adapter URL:

  • Reason 442: Failed to enable Virtual Adapter

    I've installed version 4.8.02.0010 of the VPN client onto a Dell Latitude D820 laptop. When I attempt to connect, I get this message. There are no firewalls running (I disabled the Windows XP firewall) and I'm running under Service Pack 2 with all of the latest security patches from Microsoft.
    I even tried un-installing the client and using an older version (4.8.00.0440) and it reports a similar error in the Log file.
    I'd prefer to NOT have to wipe the laptop and reinstall the O/S if I don't have to. This is the only laptop that I've experienced this problem with but it's also the first Dell Latitude D820 that I've attempted to install the client on.
    Is there a problem with the Dell Latitudes and the VPN Client? Is there another way around this other than a wipe and re-install?
    I've already tried replacing the profiles and still get the same problem.

    Hi,
    There is another thing that you can try temporarily.
    Goto device manager on the computer and manually enable the virtual adapter and see if it works.
    There might be some other adapters / softwares installed that you might have uninstall. Those could be some wireless adapters, personal firewall or internet security package, any other kind of adapter that you installed after installing the VPN cliemt.

  • Microsoft Failover Cluster Virtual Adapter

    I have read the following blog about Microsoft Failover Cluster Virtual Adapter and have few questions.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2009/02/13/what-is-a-microsoft-failover-cluster-virtual-adapter-anyway.asp
    How does this adapter choose the IP address?  It seems that it is using 169.254 subnet address.
    Can the IP address changed? If yes, how to change it in Windows 2008 R2?
    What tool is used to show the kernel drivers?  The blog shows a screenshot below the sentence The Cluster network driver (netft.sys) is a kernel mode driver and is started and stopped by the Cluster
    Service.
    If the physical NIC which has the same MAC address of the adapter is disabled, will that cause problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi PCSQL66,
    Firstly, NetFT self-configures an APIPA adres and no manuel user config requireds. Then MAC adress is self-generated based on a hash of MAC address of the first enumerated (by NDIS) physical NIC in the clsuter node. You know Netft is a virtual network adapter.
    And you cannot change it and you dont need to change.
    You are right about MAC address conflict but mac address conflict detection and rersolution in Win2012.
    I think what you want to see about kernel mode drivers or user mode etc you can use the sysinternal utility. 
    I want to say NDIS 6.2 is miniport virtual adaptor.

  • Reason 442: Failed to Enable Virtual Adapter - Windows 7 64 bit

    Some details about the issue.
    I'm trying to connect to my client's network using VPN Client version 5.0.07.0290. The user authetication is done by providing RSA SecureID token value. After entering proper credentials, the client window gets struck at 'Securing Communication Channels...' message in status bar and reports 'Reason 442: Failed to Enable Virtual Adapter' error after few mintues. I have confirmed that this version works for other people in my team , so I'm guessing it has something to do with my system settings than the client itself.
    Below are the trobleshooting tips that I have already tried.
    1. Uninstall and Reinstall the client.
    2. Enable WinXP SP2 compatability for ipsecdialer.exe and vpngui.exe.
    3. Clicking 'Diagnose' on the Citrix Virtaul Adapter connection in Networks and Sharing centre, reports no issues.
    4. Enabling Network sharing for Local Area Network and disaling Wireless Networks
    I'm running Windows 7 64 bit Enterpise OS.
    Appreciate any suggestions to resolve this issue.
    Thanks,
    PVNSKC
    Update: 9/7/2011
    OK, things look much better after a good vacation, always!!!
    I tried to connect today by reinstalling the client after a weekend shutdown (I don't believe the cold reboot stuff, but hey, worth a try! ) and it did work. The only change I did today was to disable the Wireless Connection adapter in Networks Connections. I'm not sure whether that fixed or not cause I had tried that already. Anyway, below is my current configuration which is working for now!
    1. Below executables are running in the XP compatability mode.
    cvpnd.exe, VAInst64.exe, vpngui.exe
    2. Local Area Connection is allowed for 'Sharing'
    3.  Registry is updated with below entry.
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters /v ArpRetryCount /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
    4. Wireless Connection is disabled.
    Thank you all for the responses.

    Hi,
    Duplicate IP Address Triggers Error 442 on Windows 7 and Vista
    The following error "Reason 442: failed to enable virtual adapter"  appears after Windows 7 and Vista reports a duplicate IP address  detected. Subsequent connections fail with same message, but the OS does  not report a duplicate IP address detected.
    To work around error 442, do the following steps:
    Step 1 Open "Network and Sharing Center".
    Step 2 Select "Manage Network Connections".
    Step 3 Enable the Virtual Adapter ("VA"—Cisco VPN Adapter).
    Step 4 Right-click on Cisco VPN Adapter and select "Diagnose" from the context menu.
    Step 5 Select "Reset the network adapter Local Area Connection X".
    If this procedure does not work, run the following command from cmd:
    reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters /v ArpRetryCount /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
    Then reboot.
    This resolves the issue until the OS reports a duplicate IP address again. Follow the preceding steps to resolve it again.
    If that doesn't work, you might have UAC enabled. If so, you must run  cmd as administrator and repeat the previous registry workaround.
    NOTE: You mentioned step 4 already, try the whole sequence again, if the steps does not work then try the registry key.
    Hope this helps,
    Sian

  • "enable" the Virtual Adapter

    Under Vista with VPN Client 5.0.01.0600 I always have to go into Manage Network connections and "enable" the Virtual Adapter. Why can't the virtual adapter just stay enabled?
    UAC and Windows firewall are disabled, I'm logged in as full administrator.

    There is not a newer version of VPN Client than this, seems to coorelate to when I close my lid and laptop goes into sleep and then awakes later. Sometimes I have to reboot for the Virtual Adapter to stay enabled. I'll enable it and hit F5 and it will be back at Disabled. Most of the time it stays Enabled. No Firewalls and I don't think AV would Disable a Virtual Adapter, my wireless or ethernet never Disable. Annoying caveat!

  • VPN Client Issue after Vista Upgrade

    Not sure if this should be posted here, if not please let me know.
    My organization has recently implemented Vista via an Upgrade-in-Place Process that takes an imaged system (Windows XP Pro - 32bit) and upgrades the system with a network image of Windows Vista Enterprise. Applications are left installed and herein lies my problem.
    I'm using Cisco VPN Client 5.0.04, the client worked fine before the upgrade, after the upgrade, not so well.
    While troubleshooting I noted the Cisco Systems VPN Adapter was no longer listed as being installed under Network Adapters in the Windows Device Manager, there was however an adapter, labled 6to4 adapter with an exclamation point. I went through the uninstall process for the Cisco VPN Client, rebooted and reinstalled. When trying to connect, I can use one of two pcf files (both are a back up of one another), the first connection profile goes through the motion of connection, tries to contact the security gateway, and states "Not Connected"
    I enabled logging on the connection and tried again. Here's an excerpt from that log:

    Has anyone seen this behavior after an upgrade from XP to Vista? I'm I going to have to start with a fresh install? I appreciate any suggestions or advice.
    Thanks,
    Jimi

    I finally figured out this problem and I feel it should at least be shared for another person who runs into this problem.
    The problem was resolved by loading my personal certificates (the one that is read by the smart card reader and used to authenticate me on VPN) needed to be added to the personal certificates folder in the Local Machine layer.
    I did this by opening up an MMC window --> Adding the certificates snap-in (in windows 7 it distinguishes 3 different layers, so choose the local user and the computer layer) --> and then copying the certificates in the personal folder located under Certificates - Current User into the personal folder located in Local Machine.
    The most likely reason this happened to me is that the image I was working with had security settings blocking the certificates to be read at the current user level and not at the local machine level. Therefore, it's a problem with out image and the security policies put in place at the registry level and/or group policies placed in Active Directory. This is more of a workaround than an actual fix to the problem, but at least it pinpoints where the break is happening.
    Now I can push the image back to the developers to review the security policies placed in the image.

  • Macbook (late 08) 13.3" -- miniDV to DVI adapter and Dell 24" 2405 FSP Flat

    All
    Just purchased a Macbook 13.3" and bought the miniDV to DVI adapter for my 24" Dell 2405 FSP. For whatever reason, I cannot get system prefs to "detect display".
    I am not sure if the cable is broken out of package or there is a problem with this adapter in general. I am trying to use the cable to view OS/X and XP Home via Bootcamp on large screen while Macbook is in clamshell (closed) mode.
    Seems like a lot of people are having issues but I don't know what to do. It seems the cables from Apple vary by model and worse, appear to be lower quality than most would expect. Any thoughts on commands or steps to try and diagnose. Or should I buy the miniDV to VGA adapter for the Dell flatscreen?

    Update to this issue.
    1. Friend brought his Macbook Pro 17" with full DVI adapter to my Dell 2405 FPW -- he has same 24" flatscreen. It works -- so monitor is fine.
    2. I went to Apple Store and REPLACED miniDV to DVI adapter to my monitor. No response. Not registering at all. But when friend hooked his Macbook with adapter, the screen came on.
    Assumptions:
    1. Macbook 13.3" aluminum port is damaged -- will go to Apple to confirm
    2. Odds of two adapter cables not working - highly slim (got from two different stores if we want to shake the odds a bit more based on batch shipments
    It appears that the port is NOT compatible with this monitor OR the cable quality is so bad that I have to go through a bunch of them.
    Last option - miniDV to VGA adapter to my Dell monitor to see if that works. But it is one of two options -- from my perspective:
    1. Monitor/port incompatibility
    2. Bad cables
    I even tried XP Home Edition under Bootcamp with the adapter and monitor did not display.
    What's disappointing in all of this is Apple tech support told me to download "drivers" from Dell's site -- and puzzled, I asked if Dell was supporting Mac computers because OS/X did not have drivers for this monitor and Dell only has it themselves - they emailed me download links (which is convenient) but it was clear that she doesn't know what she was doing -- the links were XP and Vista only.
    Sigh...Rev A Macbook. Will probably need Apple to work on this issue.

  • Click wheel ipod and vista question

    Hello, I have a 4G click wheel 40 gig ipod (updater version 3.1.1) and I have been using my mothers computer which has windows xp and i haven't upgraded itunes to the version 8. I was given a new computer (32 bit) which is running windows vista basic. My question is am I going to have problems with using vista basic and my older ipod? I have heard that it was turning older ipods into bricks and have been scared to transfer everything over to the new computer.
    Also, I am using it with an Alpine KCA-420i (got it the same time as the ipod) in the truck, and it worked great for a while and for the past two years it freezes up, skips songs or just won't work and was wandering if it was due to upgrading itunes? The last time the ipod was updated was for the version it is running now.
    I am trying to be careful with my ipod since it got frozen during an ice storm (no electricity for nine days) and left in the truck in bellow freezing temps for a couple of hours. The hard drive didn't appreciate it and is now not really working all that great. clicking, whirling ,grinding noises ya give it a couple good whacks on the back or sides it starts to work again. I read some post on reformatting the disk, last time i tried it the ipod froze but now i am going to try again. I did the diagnostic mode solution and it keeps getting frozen in the HDD scan.
    Sorry this is long, but if anybody has any suggestions or answers that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I don't have a guide or anything, but it is almost as easy as replacing it with another hard drive, and there are online guides for doing that, for example
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Device/iPod4th_Generation_orPhoto
    Be sure to use those plastic tools. If you use metal ones, you will damage the iPod's case.
    And it's a Compact Flash card that I used, not an SD card (which is smaller). Compact Flash cards 16GB and below are getting affordable (if you shop around online), although 32GB and higher ones are still expensive. 4GB cards are very cheap, so you may want to try it with one of those, to confirm it works, since it is always possible there are other problems with your iPod.
    1. Get one of these adapters, or equivalent. It's $5 with shipping included.
    [CF Compact-Flash SSD To Toshiba IPod 1.8 inch Adapter|http://cgi.ebay.com/CF-Compact-Flash-SSD-To-Toshiba-IPod-1-8-inch-Adapt erW0QQitemZ180303249125QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCA_Cables_Adapters?hash=item29fae93ee5& _trksid=p3911.c0.m14&trkparms=72%3A1240%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A2% 7C294%3A50]
    The listing above on eBay is the same item from the same seller as the one I bought.
    2. It fits in the iPod case with only one minor mod. There is a pair of jumper pins, used for the master/slave setting; you can see it on the image in the listing (on the left side). You want it with the jumper ON, for the master setting. It sticks out too much, so I just bent the pins 90 degrees with needle nose pliers, and the jumper still fits. If your 4G iPod is the 40GB model, it has the thicker drive and case, so it may fit fine without bending it over.
    3. Connect the Compact Flash card to the adapter and connect the adapter where the 1.8-inch hard drive was connected. You need to put something non-conducting between the logic board and the adapter/CF card. A stiff piece of paper (like a business card) would work; I cut a piece of clear plastic from the +impossible to open without hurting yourself+ packaging material that most tech products come packed in these days. Cut it to the right rectangle shape to fit between the logic board and adapter/CF card without sliding around.
    4. The adapter plus CF Card is much smaller than the hard drive, so you need to fill that space to avoid it rattling around. Cardboard pieces would work, but if you want to take advantage of the lighter weight, get something light. I used some of that flexible foamy packing sheets that are used to wrap around delicate items for shipping. I cut appropriate size pieces to take up the extra space. I put one layer between the adapter/CF card and the logic board and the rest between the adapter/CF card and the metal half of the case.
    Then, you just connect the iPod and run a Restore, as if it was a regular 4G iPod. The three key advantages are better shock resistance, lighter weight, and no drive spin-up delay. The only real disadvantage is lower capacity, unless you get a more expensive CF card with higher capacity.
    Note to other readers: I also tried this retrofit with an older 3rd gen iPod. It did not work for me and the parts I used; I could not get the iPod to format or restore with the Compact Flash card inside.
