10.5.7 network broken (cisco vpn to blame?)

had my superdrive repaired at the genius bar this week. as part of the repair, they installed the 10.5.7 update, breaking all of my network capabilities.
i believe this is due to a conflict with the cisco vpn software. i've uninstalled it by booting into single user mode and running /usr/local/bin/vpn_uninstall. i still cannot get a network connection (wired or wireless).
any help is greatly appreciated.
and it would be nice if apple techs checked that the machines they "repair" are working in the future.

You had your Supper Drive Repaired at the Genius Bar.... When you took your Mac in to get repaired did you leave instructions NOT to UPDATE any software or did you just drop it off? I believe if you take your Mac in to get serviced at the Apple Store, part of the "Service" is to make sure Every thing on the Mac is Fully Updated and Tested & Working before the Customer comes back to take it home with him/her.
When I talked to a Higher Level Apple Rep "the kind that can give you a new mac if he so chooses" the first thing he asked me was, is there an Apple Store in your city. After talking about what they would do in the apple store verses over him and I on the phone he described they would fix the problem along with making sure everything on your system is functioning properly along with Updating all software.
So my point is If you had specific settings on your Mac you should have let them know NOT to UPDATE to 10.5.7. In doing so your VPN settings would stop working due to the "Bug"
If you cant get it working again, you should take your Mac back to the Apple store and tell them what they did and to fix the problem. I am sure if you kill them with kindness you'll be up and running in no time.
Its very important to let someone know who is going to be working on your system no to UPDATE anything due to settings you may have that may or may not be affected by a newer version of software.
I spent a week and half on the phone with the apple rep. I made sure everything would work the way I wanted it to before We did any kind of change.

  • Cisco VPN disconnects after a minute or so

    I can access the internet with my verizon dsl but I'm having problems accessing my work network via cisco vpn software.  I can connect for a minute or two and then it kicks me off.  I'm pretty sure its something with verizon because I can hop on the free wifi and connect with the vpn no problems
    Thanks

     One thing that was updated recently was the antivirus software was migrated from something to Symantec Endpoint Protection.   
    I have a feeling you may have to contact your tech support at work to see if they have to set a parameter to their Symantec software.  Either that or when they made the upgrade it may have disabled your dsl connection if yours was set up to access our network by havin g the computer supply the user name and password.
    When you used to go online did you have to select a connect button on the computer?
    Another thing you may try is, select Start> run and type CMD
    now type.... ping yahoo.com ......and see if you get a response. If you get a response this way, something in the software is blocking your connection 

  • Cisco VPN client can't ping remote network.

    I have recently installed a Cisco 5505 and have problems with some of the Cisco VPN Hosts I connect to using the Cisco VPN dialer. The Cisco Dialer connects fine but I am unable to connect to any computers on the remote network.
    I have tracked the issue down to the ones that work & the ones that don't. If the remote Cisco is on the same sub-net as the computers I am connecting to it works fine. If the remote Cisco is on a differant sub-net then the computer I am trying to connect to it won't work unless I set up a static nat for a given pc on my network.
    When I run through the dynamic Nat for my network I get the following error on the 5505.
    regular translation creation failed for protocol 50 src inside:192.168.97.215 dst outside:xx.xxx.xx.xxx
    I have been trying to find a solution to this issue ever since I installed the router and have not had any luck with any of the suggestions I have found on the Web. I have attached my config.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Mike

    Thanks for your response.
    Yes that exactly the setup we are trying to get to work.
    I have a call into them now and will check on their set up but I have no control over how they configure their routers I can only make requests.
    I was hoping there was something causing it on my side as I deal with Hospitals and they can get very picky about their security.
    I guess what is confusing me is it works if it goes through a Static Nat but not if it runs through our dynamic Nat.

  • Access Site to Site Networks behind Cisco ASA thru VPN Client

    I have configured remote access thru asa for vpn clients to our main network. I can ping the required networks from vpn client. Internally I can ping remote network thru our sonicwall site to site vpn. I however cannot ping the remote network from the vpn client. I've added the network in the configuration on the ASA that I am trying to connect to. Any ideas what I can do so I can connect to Site B thru my vpn client connecting to Site A?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hello, matt0000111111.
    Did you add a VPN clients network to the sit-to-site VPN settings and to the NAT list (if nat exist at the interfaces at site-to-site vpn)?

  • Cisco vpn-mac os X 10.5 broken

    Latest cisco vpn client does not work with newest mac os 10.5. I have it installed and i get a error 51 unable to communicate with the vpn subsystem. Please fix this asap cisco.
    CM

    I have heard reports that if you performed an upgrade to 10.5, you may need to reinstall the latest VPN client for it to work. It needs to reinstall some files that the upgrades process may have removed.
    I performed a clean install of 10.5 and have been using the VPN client without any issues at all.

    Hello Wayne,
    Can you use a different subnet range than the internal interface, this could cause you a LOT of issues and hours on troubleshooting, so use a dedicated different Ip address range...
    I can see that the local Pool range is included into the inside interface Ip address subnet range, change that and the related config ( NAT,etc, ) and let us know what happens,
    Regards,

  • I cannot route to remote subnets from cisco vpn client and pptp client

    Hi guys,
    I've a big problem, I configured a 877 cisco router as a cisco vpn server (the customer use it to connect to his network from pc) and a pptp vpn server (he use it to connet to the network from a smartphone).
    In this router I created 2 vlan, one for wired network (192.168.10.0/24) and the second one (10.0.0.0/24) for wireless clients and I use fastethernet 3 port to connect these to the router.
    this is the issue, when the customer try to connect to a wireless network from both of vpn clients he cannot do this, but if he try to connect to a wired network client all working fine.
    following the addresses taken from the router.
    - encrypted vpn client -
    ip address. 192.168.10.20
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway. none (blank)
    - pptp vpn client -
    ip address. 192.168.10.21
    netmask. 255.255.255.255
    Default Gateway. 192.168.10.21
    Is possible that I cannot reach the remote subnet because the clients doesn't receive a gateway (in the first case) or receive the wrong subnet/gateway (in the second one)..?
    There is anyone can help me..?
    Thank you very much.

    The default gateway on your PC is not the problem, it will always show as the same IP address (this is no different when you dial up to an ISP, your DG will again be set to your negotiated IP address).
    The issue will be routing within the campus network and more importantly on the PIX itself. The campus network needs a route to the VPN pool of addresses that eventually points back to the PIX.
    The issue here is that the PIX will have a default gateway pointing back out towards your laptop. When you establish a VPN and try and go to an Internet address, the PIX is going to route this packet according to its routing table and send it back out the interface it came in on. The PIX won't do this, and the packet will be dropped. Unless you can set the PIX's routing table to forward Internet packets to the campus network, there's no way around this. Of course if you do that then you'll break connectivity thru the PIX for all the internal users.
    The only way to do this is to configure split tunnelling on the PIX, so that packets destined for the Internet are sent directly from your laptop in the clear just like normal, and any packet destined for the campus network is encrypted and sent over the tunnel.
    Here's the format of the command:

  • Boot camp with Cisco VPN client and smart card

    Looking at a Macbook or Macbook Air and the only reason I need to run windows is to be able to access my work network through the Cisco VPN client and my Smartcard then use remote desktop. From my understanding if I run Bootcamp it should work am I correct? Im going to an Apple store tomorrow hopefully they can help too.
    Thanks

    I think if you are running apps over the Internet the bottleneck will be the Internet and your VPN bandwidth. Your computer can certainly execute faster than Internet communications.
    Besides, Internet or remote applications run on the remote server. All your local computer does is local processing of the data if necessary.

  • Problem with Cisco VPN client and HP elitebook 2530p windows 7 64-bit

    Hi there
    I have a HP Elitebook 2530p which i upgraded to windows 7 64-bit. I installed the Cisco VPN client application (ver. 5.0.07.0290 and also 64-bit) and the HP connection manager to connect to the internet through a modem Qualcomm gobi 1000 (that is inside the laptop). When I connect to the VPN, it connects (I write the username and password) but there is no traffic inside de virtual adapter for my servers. When I connect to the internet through wire or wireless internet, I connect de VPN client and there is no problem to establish communication to my servers.
    I tried everything, also change the driver and an earlier version of the HP connection manager application. I also talked to HP and they told me that there was a report with this kind of problem and it was delivered to Cisco. I don’t know where is the problem.
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks to all.

    You can try to update Deterministic Network Enhancer to the below listed release which supports
    WWAN Drivers.

  • Cisco VPN client and mac mail

    Hi all,
    I wonder if someone can be more helpful than my uni IT department who take a minimum of a week to get you an IP address...
    My new uni uses Cisco VPN client for connection to the Wi-Fi network. It all works great apart from one (very annoying problem):-my e-mail accounts in mac mail don't seem to be able to connect via the VPN. I have had both an IMAP and a POP server e-mail account work automatically wherever I connect in the world for over a year now-so its not the way I've set up the accounts.
    Is there any way to get mac mail to "see" the VPN connection. If I have to physically plug-in my mac this seems a tad ridiculous when it works in every coffee shop with free wi-fi.
    My uni are not helpful as they want people to use either outlook or better still log-on to their e-mail using the web. I don't even want to use their e-mail-what is the point when I move jobs again in a year. What I do currently is use an IMAP account from my last job which I've set to forward to my "e-mail for life" from my undergrad uni. I basically only give out my life e-mail address and this also goes on all my papers.
    If I can't access this easily and sort all my mail in all the folders I've created to filter out things like facebook etc. I'm wondering what the point of mac mail is.

    Yeah, that stuff normally works for me. Unfortunately this is a situation where you have to use an external Cisco VPN client software, whether you like it or not. Its this horrible clunky thing (which at least half works I guess). So its only like normal wi-fi in terms of selecting the network, then you have to open up this application and put in your log-in etc. Most of the settings on this client seem locked, so there isn't much I can do to configure it.
    I've just got to my (temporary) accommodation which doesn't have wi-fi or VPN (just ethernet) and my mail is working again-so it must be the VPN. Goodness knows how it works with an iPod touch (interested in getting one but kind of pointless if I spend most of my time at work and it doesn't work...)
    Thanks for your suggestions though!

  • Cisco VPN client and Novell and Panda AV

    I have found an issue with one of my clients PC's that prevents him from using network resources over the VPN tunnel.
    PC
    Win XP SP2
    VPN client - 5.0 (Newest download)
    Novell - Client 4.91 SP4 for win 4.91.4
    Panda AC 4.02.40
    Ok here's what happens
    I made a PCF file for a handful of users to connect in and be able to access 2 servers.
    On the machine with the above information installed. It will connect to the VPN. Everything seems fine but if I RDP or ping access to the server it will not go. I then installed it on my machine and it works.
    So I fully investigated the one PC that doesn't work. I noticed in the TCPIP stack of both the Ethernet card and the Cisco adaptor. There is a Novell client and a panda client.
    Now if I uncheck one or the other it works. (I know there's posts about panda not working and the posts are 2 years old) It will work with just panda or Novell. When I check both it fails.
    Now has anyone seen this issue with these two products installed on a machine with Cisco VPN.
    Also, who should this go to, Novell, Panda or both?

    I stated i did that and it works. Each one works when its the only thing checked.
    Thanks

  • Cisco VPN Client and Border Manager

    Don't know if this is the correct spot, but here goes. We are using BM 3.8sp4 using proxy, and NAT. We have a contractor that needs to access his company network using a Cisco VPN Client Ver 5. They have Enable Transparent Tunneling checked in the client and IPSec over TCP port 1000.
    Is this a filter exception to let it out or something else I need to set up?

    Port 1000, or 10000? (10,000 is something I've seen in the past, and
    is what I used for the example in my BMgr filtering book. See URL
    below).
    You would probably need to open two ports up, in FILTCFG, from private
    to public interfaces. First, IKE-st (UDP 500). Next, make a custom
    stateful one for port 1000 (or whatever), probably UDP.
    The last Cisco IPSec VPN client I used through BMgr needed UDP 500 and
    UDP 4500 opened, just like the Novell IPSec VPN client. So I was able
    to use the definitions supplied by Novell in FILTCFG. In your case,
    you will probably have to add at least one custom exception.
    Filter debug will tell you what is being filtered, if you know how to
    use it. Or get PKTSCAN.NLM from download.novell.com, load it on the
    server, and capture packets. Look at them on the server, or use
    Wireshark, and you will see what protocol/ports are being sent from the
    client IP address.

  • Cisco VPN client and SSH

    Hi,
    I am using Cisco VPN client 4.9.01.0180 to connect to remote server. From the Cisco client, I see that I am connecting to the remote server.
    Using the terminal, with command:
    ssh 192.168.1.2 or ssh [email protected] to connect to the remote server.
    However, the output is:
    ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.2 port 22: Operation timed out
    I don't know what is going wrong. The Cisco client 's setting is simple, and no problem using Windows. Do I have to modify the Mac OS?
    Regards,
    Terence

    hi,
    sorry for asking stupid. how and what did you change your subnet to ?
    i have almost the exact same problem (same client and on Windows it does work and I cannot ssh to a Mac in the work office) furthermore i am using a wireless connection (via Airport Express) ... not sure if that matters.
    do i just go into the Network Prefs and select the tcp/ip tab, and manually change the ip-addresses ?
    my settings (DHCP) currently are
    ip 10.0.1.2
    Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
    Router 10.0.1.1
    The strange thing for me is that if I Remote Desktop to a PC (via VPN) on the same office net as the above Mac I cannot ssh (via Putty), but when i am physically at the PC i am able to ssh.
    any help appreciated

  • Cisco VPN Client and Quick VPN interaction?

    I have both a Cisco VPN client for connecting to my company LAN and a QuickVPN client for connecting to my home LAN installed on my W2K laptop.  Both start and run correctly, and both connect just as they should.  My home LAN uses a WRV54G router to provide VPN connection.  I can alternate back and forth between the two clients and connect to each LAN with no obvious issues, but not at the same time, of course.
    Here's the question.  When I connect to the home LAN, I can log on with no problem and I can remotely administer the WRV54G with no problem.  I can ping all of the wired and wireless W2K computers on my home LAN with no problem.  However, I cannot "see", browse or map any of the shared resources on my home LAN.  I have created user accounts on the home LAN computers for my laptop and router logins and I have given these accounts permissions to my shared resources, but I still cannot get to them.  Linksys tech support has been absolutely no help whatsoever, even after repeated attempts.
    While trying to troubleshoot this myself, I've noticed that when the Cisco VPN client is running and I'm connected to my company LAN, the IP address and subnet of my computer is changed to ones assigned by the DHCP server at my company.  This seems to happen because the Cisco client activates the "Local Area Connection Number 2" on my laptop and assigns IP addresses using it.  However, when I'm using the QuickVPN client to connect to my home, the IP address and subnet of my laptop continues to be those assigned by whatever local network I'm connected to (e.g. hotel, etc).
    I'm wondering if the QuickVPN is supposed to be assigning an IP address and subnet to my laptop from the WRV54G's DHCP server when I connect to my home LAN.  If so, could the Cisco VPN client installed on my laptop be preventing that from happening?
    Sorry for the long post, but I'm at my wit's end on this one and Linksys is just no help at all.

    1. The Cisco VPN client creates a virtual interface on your computer. This allows you to route traffic to the tunnel. The QuickVPN client is simpler. It only encrypts the traffic to the other end. It does not use a virtual interface. That's why you don't have another IP address when connected with QuickVPN. QuickVPN only encrypts IP packets with IPSec from your computer to 192.168.1.* (or whatever you may use on your WRV LAN) and sends them to the WRV's public IP address.
    2. Microsoft Windows file sharing and LAN network browsing depends on network broadcasts. Those only work inside a LAN. If you connect from the outside to a LAN, broadcasts won't go through the VPN tunnel. This means you cannot use standard name windows workgroup name resolution to access shares. Those are propagated with broadcasts which will never go through the VPN tunnel. This means you are not able to use workgroup browsing. All you can to do access your shares is to use the IP address of the other computer.
    In short:
    \\mycomputer\share won't work
    \\192.168.1.50\share works
    (assuming the general sharing setup is O.K., i.e. you can use sharing correctly inside your LAN).
    Of course, firewalls on the server end may cause problems. Access comes in from a public IP address. This may be blocked. Check the firewall logs on the server to find out if this is the case or not.
    Moreover, establishing the VPN connection from a private LAN to a private LAN may not work. This is due to the double network address translation which breaks IPSec and thus the connection. If the hotel uses private IP addresses, this may be the case. But in that case you won't get ping responses from your WRV LAN.
    What definitively won't work is in case when the hotel uses the same IP address subnet as you. If the hotel uses 192.168.1.* addresses and your WRV uses 192.168.1.* addresses you cannot connect. QuickVPN does only IPSec tunneling. There is no address translation in QuickVPN. Therefore connecting the identical private IP address subnet through QuickVPN will never work because all addresses exists twice, once on either side.
