Airport Express not showing in iTunes with Cisco VPN Client Service Running

As soon as I stop my VPN Client Service in Services... the AX instanly appears in iTunes... If I restart the service AX can't be found. Does anyone know a workaround so they can co-exist on an XP machine?

Yes, that is called "split tunneling" and is a feature, if you will, of the Cisco VPN (hardware and your VPN client). Unless "split tunneling" is enabled AT THE SERVER, all of your traffic will flow through the VPN, including that meant for your local AX.
If you had an ethernet printer, as I do, you'd also find you couldn't print while on the VPN.
The intent is to protect your company's internal network from anything that might be on your computer (say, malware trying to phone home or do other nefarious stuff).
Really, there is not much you can do, other than ask your IT folks to enable local LAN access for you.

  • Airport Express not showing name given

    Hello Community,
    I have the latest Airport Extreme and Airport Express. I am also using the latest Airport Utility, 6.0.
    I am using the Airport Express to extend my network. However, under my Wi-Fi icon (upper right icon), I can not see the name given to my Airport Express. Therefore I can not manually select it. I can see it's name in iTunes, if I want to remotely play music and under "Network>Advanced" I can see it has the "same" name as my Extreme, but with an "AE" after the Extreme's name. Im sure that means Airport Express. Also, of course I can see the AE and the name given to it using Airport Utility.
    Question, why is the name given to the Airport Express not showing up under my Wi-Fi ? I could have sworn when I first configured it, it showed up under the Wi-Fi drop down menu under "Other Devices", I believe it read.
    I am running Lion, 10.7.3
    Any help please ? Thank you in advance !

    By the way, I set up the Airport Express wirelessly. Should I have connected it with an Ethernet to my Extreme to set the Express as an Extended network device ? Thanks !

  • Airport Express not working when used with Broadband Router **HELP!!!**

    Hello.
    I have an ethernet network in my house, and I am connected to the network via a Linksys router for Broadband VOIP and internet. I am on a G5 in my home office and want to stream music to my Airport Express for my home stereo in the living room, via the ethernet connection.
    The problem is that when using the router in my network, only the Admin Utility sees the base station-- iTunes does not.
    If I remove the router from the equation altogether and plug the network ethernet cable directly into the G5, the AX in the other room works just fine and I can get internet on the G5 in the office. The problem is that I need the router to operate my Vonage VOIP phone service and to connect a second computer to the internet as well. The IP address for the router in the home office is "192.168.x.xxx" and when I try moving it to the living room and connecting the AX to it, the Admin Asst doesn't see the AX at all.
    When I connect the router to the network in the office, I can use internet on both computers and the VOIP phone service, and the AX Admin Asst. sees the base station from the other room. But again, iTunes does not.
    Is there a way to configure the router to see the AX?
    Thanks for your help!

    Forgive me if this a little off thread, but I have just managed to get this to work and thought it might help people with similar configuration issues (mix manufacturer wireless networks)
    I received an Airport Express (FW v. 6.3) for Christmas this year. I already am using a D-Link DI-524 wireless(G) router (Rev A FW 1.03) for my Comcast cable modem in my house (downstairs). What I wanted to do is to add the Airport Express in my office upstairs to my network (client mode) so that I could print from my HP Deskjet 3740 printer and listen to iTunes on my stereo through Airtunes. I have two iBooks (G3) with regular (802.11b) airport cards in them) running Tiger.
    I ran into a couple of snags though. I could see the printer in Rendezvou and I could see the airport express in iTunes. I however could not print to the printer or connect to the speakers. I was able to connect to the speakers very intermittenly and then the audio would be disrupted every few seconds.
    After a bit of hacking, what I found is that it seems that WPA PSK security doesn't work between the two. I changed the security to 128 bit WEP (ASCII mode). This means that you need an exactly 13 character pass phrase. This is necessary because Apple (and pretty much only Apple) supports 40 bit WEP (5 chars) and D-Link (and the rest of the Windows wireless universe) supports 64 bit WEP (7 chars), but they both support 128 bit WEP. I assume you could set both up as an open network if you were far enough from your neighbors, but I am in a townhouse complex, so I thought I probably better have some security on the network.
    Now I only see one network (the one set up on my D-Link router) and I can print to my printer and stream to my stereo through iTunes (without disruption). Seems to work seemlessly now.
    I should also mention that I did about three other things. I moved the LAN subnet on the D-link router to 192.168.1.1 (DHCP client address are now between 1.100 and .1.200) I had heard that this was necessary since both routers tried to use the 192.168.0 subnet, but I think this is only necessary in relay mode. I also statically assigned the IP address for the Airport Express. Finally I set up a firewall rule of Source WAN/LAN IP addresses of 192.168.1.100-200 of any protocol from ports 1-20000 to the same destination address range should be allowed to allow for all LAN traffic to be passed. I am very certain this is unnecessary and possible dangerous for security, but I thought I should mention that I did it.
    Hope this might help someone.

  • Airport Express not showing up as a selectable network

    I have a new airport express and airport extreme base station (latest firmware installed). I've set up my base station in my home, which is working fine. When I plugged in my airport express, the default name showed up in my available networks on my iPhone. But once I configured it to extend my base station range, it doesn't show up. If I restore the airport express to factory defaults, it shows up again in my iPhone. I can't seem to get the "set up" airport express to show up as available. Any suggestions?

    i assume your airport extreme base station (AEBS) is you main router and you want the airport express (AX) join the network provided by the AEBS.
    you could try this:
    unplug and re-plug the airport express (AX), then click on the airport icon in your menu bar. you should see something like "Apple network bj1234567" or similar (it may take a little while for it to show up). in order to set up the express, you will have to temporarily join its network ! you will get a message asking +do you really want to switch networks ?+ and you do want to do that.
    launch airport utility (AU). you should see the AX on the left. click on the icon of the AX once to highlight it and click continue. follow onscreen instructions and, when prompted, choose to +join an existing network+ and enter the required information for your network.
    any help ?

  • IP Communicator doesn't work with Cisco VPN Client

    Hi,
    Im having problem to connect  IP Communicator (either ver 2 or 7 )whenever using Cisco VPN Client 5.0.06.0160 for windows
    the IPC didn't register to the CUCM
    There's nothing showing on the screen
    but whenever im using  Anyconnect VPN Client, it works perfectly
    The remote side is using ASA5505
    Anyone can help ??
    Thanks

         It's probably an issue with the ASA configuration in your "group-policy attributes".  The "split-tunnel-network-list value" is pointing to an access list without the subnet for the call manager.  While your ssl group-policy for webvpn has a "split-tunnel network-list value" access-list which does contain the subnet for the call manager.
         The other issue could be that your using different ip pools for ipsec and ssl vpn.  The ip pool subnet that you might be giving out for ipsec might not be in your "no nat" acl.

  • Mac Pro kernel Panic with Cisco VPN Client

    After Having to rebuild my new Mac Pro 3 times I finally found that it was the Cisco VPN Client that was released for Intel in Feb. of this year that does not play nice with the new machines. Don't install or if it's too late boot into Safe Boot mode by holding your shift key during startup and then follow the instructions at the link below.
    http://itinfo.mit.edu/answer.php?id=8171

    Just a heads-up;
    the new Cisco VPN Client has now been released and fixes this issue.
    The version 4.9.01.0030 specifically resolves the following bugs:
    CSCsd51113 feature unity nonwindows set mtu vpnclient.ini field
    CSCsd51126 unity mac ppp intel fails with mismatch log message 10.4
    CSCsc56445 unity mac rebranding volume name voids rebranding files

  • VPN 720 error with win 8 with Cisco VPN client 5.0.07.0440

    Hello,
    I have Win 2008 configured as RRAS- VPN server, with win 7/8 VPN clients.
    half of these client machines are also running "Cisco VPN client 5.0.07.0440"
    all win 7 machines works fine however most of Win 8 will not connect to windows VPN, if they also have Cisco VPN client 5.0.07.0440 intsalled.
    Any suggestion.
    Thanks

    Workaround to this problem is:
    1)- Unintsall Cisco VPN client from win 8
    2)- reset IP stack

  • Unable to access satellite offices with Cisco VPN client

    There are 4 sites:
    Main office - 192.168.0.x/24
    Sat office1 - 10.0.0.x/24
    Sat Office2 - 10.0.1.x/24
    Sat Office3 - 10.0.2.x/24
    All 4 offices are connected via MPLS using other Cisco routers from the telcom co. The user VPN endpoint is at the main office. (Cisco 1811)
    We can make the VPN connection with the Cisco VPN client and browse the 192 network all day long. We cannot access any of the other subnets over the VPN connection. Browsing the other subnets while physically at the main office is fine. This DID work in the past. Something changed that I cannot pinpoint, any ideas?
    Scope for the VPN endusers is 10.100.100.x/24
    Cisco VPN Client versions 4.x and 5.x (both affected)
    Thanks in advance

    Ken
    It is good to know that it did work in the past and then stopped working. That indicates that something changed. Is it possible that a software upgrade has been done and that the change is behavior is reflecting a different version of IOS? (I suspect that is is possible but not so likely - but we need to ask.)
    My guess is either that there was some change in the routing logic or that the access lists which indicate what traffic is to be protected by the VPN used to include remote to remote but has been changed for some reason.
    Could you post the configuration of the main office 1811?
    Another question that occurs to me is whether the main office 1811 is directly connected to the Internet or does it go through some firewall? If if goes through some firewall is it possible that there has been some change in the firewall rules that is denying the remote to remote traffic?

  • 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

    Ok with that being said will the MBA 11.6 1.4ghz have the guts to make it run mostly internet based programs over the VPN connection?
    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.

  • Wired AirPort Express not showing in AirPort Utility or iTunes

    So I was using my two AirPort Express's to wirelessly play iTunes throughout the house. Recently I wired the house with Cat6 and decided to wire in the AXs for more reliability. My AXs are 1st gen and are running 7.6.1. The problem is, when I turned the wireless off on them, they no longer show up in AirPort Utility or iTunes. I can get them to show in utility by selecting "Configure Other" then manually entering their IP address and password, but that's the only way and they never show in iTunes and disappear from Utility once I "Update". They are wired to a Gigabit switch which is wired to a Netgear router.
    Some additional Info:
    Green light is on and solid
    I can ping them and connect manually
    "Connect using ethernet" is set
    Connection sharing "Off (Bridge Mode)" is set
    I also want to extend my wireless range with them, so I've mirrored my wireless settings and used "Create a wireless network" (tried without doing this as well without luck)
    Enable AirPlay is checked
    Netgear WNDR3700v2 Router Firmware version 1.0.0.36
    Keebox SGE08 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x64
    Any idea why I can't see or use them in iTunes and AirPort Utility?
    Thanks!

    I wish that I could help you.  I'm having a similar problem, but wireless.
    A couple months ago, my two Airport Expresses and my Apple TV disappeared from iTunes AirPlay. When I ran the Airport Utility, the Airports and Apple TV could not be located.  Interestingly, the Airports displayed a green light and all iDevices (iPod Touches and iPads) could connect to the Airports via AirPlay. Like wise, Airport Utility on the iDevices located the Airports. So I connected an Airport to the router via a Ethernet cable.  Once connected via wire and after a hard reset (with an orange light displayed) the Airport Utility found the wire-connected Airport.  I ran the utility to set up the Airport and a green light came on. Then the wire-connected Airport was visible on iTunes AirPlay. So I unplugged the Airplay and returned it to the stereo.  The green light came on, but now neither iTunes not the computer based Airport Utility could find it, even though the iDevices could. I repeated this process expecting a different outcome enough times to be certified insane.
    So as I sit my computer based (Windows Vista) Airport Utility and computer based iTunes (the new version) cannot locate the Airport Expresses even though the iDevices readily see them. And their green lights display a connection to the network.
    I even tried a forced connection by pasting the Airport's IP address (obtained using Airport Utility on iPad) into the manual configuration of the Airport Utility on the computer.  Oddly, once the IP address was entered, the computer based Airport Utility could see the specs of the Airport Express. But when I tried to save or conclude the Computer based Airport Utility configuration, I got an error.
    Another odd thing is that the Remote App on my iDevices no longer works either. I can no longer connect to my iTunes library.  The remote simply can't find my Library at all. (I confirmed that Home Sharing is on).  But I noted that in iTunes is indicated that four devices work connected or linked to the Library.  So I had iTunes "forget" the devices "connected" for Remote and tried to reconnect. I got the number could on the iDevise but the devise never appeared in iTunes Devises for selection.
    So whatever problem is preventing iTunes from locating my Airport, is also blocking my iDevises from connecting to iTunes.  Meanwhile, my iDevises can sync with iTunes (while wired - I never tried a wireless sync) and can connect via AirPlay to all Airports.
    I've researched this for months and found nothing to work. I'm frustrated to the point of doing something drastic like dumping iTunes and finding some other player to manage my music and stream to my stereos. I'd rather not but the vast majority of my Library can't be played over my stereo.

  • Airport Express not recognized in iTunes- reset not working.

    I have spent 2 days trying everything I've read here in these forums to RESET my Express.
    I've done a soft & a hard reset each several times.
    I've tried unplugging the Express overnight.
    I've upoaded new firmware.
    I've discarded the new file created each time in the Airport configuration folder.
    The reset seems to work....but then my Express is not connecting to iTunes. That is the new config shows up in the pop up menu in iTunes but does not complete the connection. I only use the box for remote connection of my music system. I've tried to set the Express up with each of the 2 choices in the AirPort Setup Assistant, ie. extending the range or a new network. Also, the light which is normally not flashing is indeed flashing. I've had Express functioning fine for over a year, this issue has happened only once before. Last time I was able to reconfigure successfully. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    My set up is as follows:
    G4 destop with Airport base station, iBook wireless which I'm using to config. the Express box.

    To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <type in your wireless network name or select it from the pop-up menu>
    - Wireless Security: Not enabled
    OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
    Security Options
    Change Wireless Security
    - Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for your wireless network: 40-bit WEP|128-bit WEP | WPA Personal | WPA Enterprise>
    - Password: <enter your wireless network security password or key>
    Music tab (optional)
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <enter name of speaker for iTunes remote speaker list>

  • Second AirPort Express not showing up in AirPort Utility

    I got a second AirPort Express (APE) to extend my wireless in a different direction from the first but I have not been able to get the new one to show up in the AirPort Utility.
    Here are some of the things that I have tried based on my research so far:
    -Unplugged APE and waited 30 seconds then plugged it back in
    -Pressed reset button untill light blinked, this caused the light to stay solid amber for several seconds then it started slowly blinking again
    -Plugged in to Time Capsule with cable, this allowed me to configure the second APE but once I disconnected the cable it still would not connect wirelessly
    -Disconected the first APE and "forgot" it in the AirPort Utility, still not able to set up 2nd APE
    Did I get a bad unit?

    Answering my own post ...
    I first directly connected the AX to the iMac using the ethernet cable, and was able to configure the AX (not sure that I actually had to do this, as my issue was probably due to poor signal strength - as described later). I then moved the AX back to the living room, and was able to connect again, but soon it was dropped. Determined that the signal was weak. I played with positioning the AX to optimize signal, and now am able to get OK signal (only about 1/3 strength, based on number of bars in "fan" shaped icon in menu bar). Was able to stream iTunes to stereo as well, which is great. Also determined that the 2WIRE system that Airport was trying to set up WAS my neighbor (and not my gateway/router). If you don't see "Apple XXXXX" base station and network listed when you are in Airport Admin Utility or Internet Connect (which I didn't, but since I was using 2WIRE gateway/router, assumed that it was my AX when the 2WIRE appeared in the Airport network connection option), then the AX is not properly set up (weak signal or other problem).
    So, with the AX in the living room (front of the house), and the iMac in the sun room (back of the house), I am able to get OK, but not great signal from AX. So far, seems to be sufficient to connect to internet and stream iTunes. I may see if I can reposition the AX on the other side of the living room wall, but that will then require running a long cable to connect to the stereo.
    Bottom line: 50ft. range of AX may be reduced when used in old (1920's era) houses (thick, plaster walls). Actual distance between AX and iMac is probably 30-40 feet, though they are separated by at least 3-4 walls. If repositioning to other side of wall doesn't do the trick, I may need to step up to Extreme.
    I hope this helps others that might have similar problems.

  • Airport Express Not Showing up in Admin Utility

    Have an Intel iMac, and tried to set up AX yesterday. Using SBC DSL internet connection (2-wire system). Plugged phone line into 2-wire router, ethernet cable between router and AX, powered both up. Router shows 3 green lights, indicating that everything is "good." Likewise, AX shows up with a green light. On the iMac, I never got the generic "Airport Express Network" or anything, but did have 2WIRE381 recognized (presumably as my AX network). I am able to connect to the 2WIRE381, and show a strong signal. However, I cannot connect to the internet, nor can I configure AX via the the Admin Utility (nothing shows up). I've tried both soft and hard resets, powering off the router, restarting the iMac, ... nothing seems to work. AX also not visible in iTunes (since no internet connection).
    Any thoughts? One thought that I had ... is it possible that I am picking up a neighbor's signal, and that is why I can't configure it? My AX is about 30-40 feet away (single level house, 1200 sqft.) with probably 3-4 walls between AX and iMac.
    Any ideas/suggestions greatly appreciated.

  • AirPort Express Not Showing as Option for Playback

    I have an AirPort Express (new with latest firmware) connected to my Wireless LAN (802.11g). Both of my computers can see it (that is, I can access it from the configuration utility), however, when I load iTunes it will not show as a playback option (pulldown on bottom of iTunes screen) on one computer, unless I first ping the IP of the AirPort. Sometimes this works, sometimes not. Note that iTunes is not loaded on the other computer at the time and I do not have a firewall between the computers on the LAN. I am using WEP encryption, but I've entered the key successfully on both computers and on the AirPort. I've also opened the specified port (5353?) on my router, although that shouldn't matter, as I'm not trying to route outside my LAN.
    As mentioned I have latest AirPort firmware and iTunes upgrades loaded on both Windows XP computers, as well as SP2.
    Ideas or suggestions?
