Cisco VPN Client and Windows XP Home

Hello,
I cannot find any information to tell me whether Windows XP Home (Not XP Professional) is supported under ant Cisco VPN client 4.xx or 5.xx.
We have several "home" users and when trying to install it just causes the pc to do a looping reboot.
Can anyone advise please ?
Scott

Scott,
Not sure if you read the release notes, but here they are are for V4.06 and V5.0:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/vpn_client/cisco_vpn_client/vpn_client46/release/notes/46clnt.html#wp1207576
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2308/prod_release_note09186a0080884df5.html#wp1207576
I'm not seeing anything that prohibits XP Home, but there are several caveats that may have direct bearing on why your user's can't get it installed (administrative access to internal firewalls).

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.

You can try to update Deterministic Network Enhancer to the below listed release which supports
WWAN Drivers.
http://www.citrix.com/lang/English/lp/lp_1680845.asp.
DNE now supports WWAN devices in Win7. Before downloading the latest version of DNEUpdate from the links below, be sure you have the latest
drivers for your network adapters by downloading them from the vendors websites.

Hope that helps.

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.

Cisco ASA 5505, Cisco VPN Client and Novell Netware

Hi,
Our ISP have installed Cisco ASA 5505 firewall. We are trying to connect to our Novell 5.1 server using VPN client.
I installed VPN client on a laptop that is using wireless connection. I connect using wireless signal from near by hotel and I am able to connect to my firewall usinging vpn client and also able to login in using Novell client for XP.
When I use same vpn client and Novell client at home that is not using wireless connection, but DSL connection amd not able to login or find the tree.
The only difference in two machine is laptop using wireless connection and my home machine is using wired connection using DSL.

If your remote end of the services in question support IPsec IKEv1 as the VPN type then, yes - the 5505 can be a client for that service. At that point it looks like a regular LAN-LAN VPN which is documented in many Cisco and 3rd party how-to documents.

Cisco VPN client and License

Hello,
We have a Cisco ASA 5520 with the VPN PLus License and 8.04 IOS installed, we want to set up vpn access to our users. We can use the cisco VPN client which works on WIndows Platform, but we also have MAC OS 10.7 which works only with Cisco Anyconnect.
I am a little bit lost with all the client and the license, actually we can't setup more than 2 vpn session with an Anyconnect client installed on MAC or Windows. The authentication is by Certificate, the first two connect fine, but the third one don't connect and prompt for a username / password.
I joined a SH VER of my ASA, if anyome can tell me what is wrong on the license or perhaps it's a configuration problem?
Thanks a lot for the answer.
Mathieu.

why don't you use built-in client in mac osx? it supports certificate authentication also.
another solution would be to buy additional ssl vpn licences: there is a limit of two ssl vpn sessions by default.

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

VPN Client and Windows Folder Synchronisation

We are currently having problems with Windows XP Laptops which have folders Synchronised to Servers.
When they are working remotely, they use the VPN client to connect to the network. Unfortunately, the VPN Client Adapter does not appear in the "Network Connection" drop down menu within the Synchronisation Setup screens. This means that the synchronisation takes place once the Physical Adapter (LAN or Wireless) comes active and an error message appears everytime.
Has anyone come across this and found a fix for it ? There must be a away of getting the VPN LAN Adapter into the Synchronisation Network Connection list.

The only supported IPSec client for Windows 7 is 5.0.6. I would recommend uninstalling the client version that you have, upgrade the DNE package from Citrix, and then install the latest IPSec client.

VPN Client and Windows 7 - Window won't show

Bizarre issue I've now experienced on two separate PC's with VPN Client 5.00.07.0410 on 32-bit Windows 7:
Out of the blue, when the user double-clicks the Cisco VPN Client icon, the lock shows up in the system tray, and the application shows in the taskbar. You may get a glimpse of the window when you double-click the taskbar icon, or single click it and choose the application from the list. However, you are not able to actually get the window to be visible. This of course makes it impossible for the user to click the "connect" button.
I've discovered that when the icon is in the taskbar, and you hit "Enter" on the keyboard, it will connect. However I wouldn't expect a user to be able to figure this out, and so it was quite frustrating for them when this happened.
I've noticed there is a new version of the software for 64-bit users, but not for 32.
Anybody else experience this? Find a solution?
I tried uninstalling/re-installing and it made no difference.
-Chris

Try this so you don't have to do it each time... it worked for XP Pro 32-bit (Dell E6410). Haven't yet encountered on W7 Pro:
Bring up Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt_Delete). Open the Applications tab. Highlight VPN Client, right-click and select Maximize. (Sometimes if the system dies (power-loss) when connected to VPN the registry remembers the minimized setting and will not un-minimize it except with this process (and maybe one yet to be determined).)
I'm currently working (20140617) on a similar issue for W7 Pro for the User Authentication window where the RSA passcode needs to be entered. Alt-Tab works but I'm trying to make it permanent. (One problem is the user has a difficult time following instructions.)

Unable to install Cisco VPN Client on Windows 7

Hello,
After a successfull uninstallation of Cisco VPN version 4. I try to install Cisco VPN Client version 5.0.07.0290.
But after launching vpnclient_setup.msi, the wizard is starting. When I click on Next button, I have the following message: "installation ended prematurely because of an error".
In attachment, I add the details of the error find in the windows logs (logError.txt) and the logs generated from MSI installer in verbose mode (log2.txt).
My computer is a lenovo W500 with Windows 7 64 bits and 4 GB of memory (compliant with the Cisco VPN Client requirements).
I have administrator privileges on this computer.
Please help me !
I need to use it to connect to my company network.
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to install the 64 bit version of the Cisco VPN software
Latest version is vpnclient-winx64-msi-5.0.07.0440-k9.exe
Using Shrew VPN is a workaround more than a solution / answer to this issue.
You should download and run MCPR.exe first, to clean out any traces of McAfee products that conflict with Cisco VPN.

If there is a problem with vbscript registration on the system - there is a fixit tool from Microsoft for that:

Cisco VPN Client after Windows Vista Update (KB941229)

I had the Cisco VPN client 5 installed on my laptop and configured by the IT department at work. It was working fine all day until I restarted and KB941229 was automatically installed. When it turned back on the Cisco VPN service (CVPND) would attempt to run then stop. If I started it manually it would run for about a minute then stop again. Without the service running the VPN client won't open, let alone let me connect.
I know this vista update is fairly recent so I'm not sure there will be a fix but maybe somebody can think of a workaround or some way to fix this situation.
Things I've tried:
1) Uninstalling the windows update
2) restarting
3) restarting (in denial that this was happening)
4) configuring a vista VPN connection to attempt to connect to the company VPN (this failed too)
Uninstalling the update caused me to be unable to ping for some reason. This meant the VPN client would run but be unable to connect to the server and yet I was entirely able to access the internet locally. I reinstalled the update assuming maybe the installation went badly but that caused the same problem with the VPN service stopping itself (or being stopped) after a minute.

Hello
my issue has been resolved.
there is a service called Base Filtering Services running in background for Vista and has to disabled to make IP Sec VPN Client working.
after doing so it works smoothly.

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 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.

Will the old Cisco VPN Client (version Windows - 5.0.07.0440) work on a 5510

I plan to upgrade our Cisco ASA 5510 from 8.2 to 8.3. However I have 20-30remote users running the older Cisco VPN Client that connect remotely to the ASA (version Windows - 5.0.07.0440 - not Anyconnect).
My question is will the upgrade to 8.3 still allow the users to use the same Cisco VPN client or will I need to upgrade each workstation to the newer Cisco AnyConnect?
I appreciate any help that can be provided.

You can do that with no problem. Even the new 9.x ASA software is compatible with the old Cisco VPN client for IPSec remote access VPN.
That client software might not work very well with newer client operating systems like Windows 8 but the ASA end will continue to allow them to connect.

Cisco VPN Client and Mac OS 10.5.1 update

After upgrading to Leopard (10.5) my Cisco VNP client stopped working. I was able to fix that by downloading the newer VPN Client 4.9.01 (0080) from the Macupdate.com website. Now that I've updated to Mac OS 10.5.1, the VPN Client won't work again!! I went back to the Macupdate website and downloaded what looks like an even newer version - 4.9.01 (0090) - but this is labeled as a BETA and it doesn't work either. Anyone out there seen a newer version, or something that works with 10.5.1?

Aside from the fact that it's marked beta, I'm wary about the source of MacUpdate's download. They link to http://www.arrange.co.at/download/vpnclient-darwin-4.9.01.0090-universal-k9-BETA .dmg
Cisco don't ever make the client freely available. The official download is via form on the Cisco web site and you need appropriate credentials. I wouldn't risk installing from any other source.
The home page at http://www.arrange.co.at/ doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
Dude has a point... it's risky to mess with something like this from an untrusted source IMHO. Cisco is picky about who they give it out to. I have to get mine through my host provider since they are the ones that are authorized.
For what it's worth, I'm using 4.9.01 with 10.5.1 and it works well.
