Cisco VPN client crashes with Error 51 on Intel Mac Mini

I am in the process of migrating from XP to Tiger on a brand-new Mac Mini (Intel Duo). Now I am stuck:
I use v 4.8.00 of the Cisco VPN client supplied by my university's IT dept. to connect to the Campus intranet. I have been unable to succesfully use this software, as it crashes upon initializing with "Error 51: Cannot connect to the VPN subsystem." Re-installing the software does not change the state of affairs.
After some research, I used a hack found here (http://www.versiontracker.com/php/feedback/article.php?story=20060107011305622 and http://www.versiontracker.com/php/feedback/article.php?story=20060107011305622) to manually restart the VPN daemon. The Terminal result looks like this:
kld(): warning /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext/Contents/MacOS/CiscoVPN cputype (18, architecture ppc) does not match cputype (7 architecture i386) of objects files previously loaded (file not loaded)
kextload: kldlookup("_kmodinfo") failed for module /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext/Contents/MacOS/CiscoVPN
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext
load failed for extension /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext
(run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)
Not being fluent in Darwin, I can only interpret this to mean that the VPN client is incompatible with the Intel chip in the Mac mini... Is this correct? Is the only way for me to use VPN to wait for a 4.8.x version to be made available?
Hopeful still,
felixx

Also - the Mac VPN system will work with most Cisco networking devices. You can open up the PCF profile that your IT group wants you to use and figure out most of the questions Internet Connect will ask you to set up the VPN connection. For the rest, you have to ask the IT group or try some things and see what works...

Cisco VPN Client wont install Error 1406

Hello
I am installing Cisco VPN Client on my Windows 7 32-bit laptop but it doesn't work.
I have downloaded VPN Client ver "vpnclient-win-msi-5.0.07.0410-k9" which is supposed to be assigned for Win 32 bit but i get a lot of error like his:
"Error 1406. Could not write value Maximum Plugins to key \System\Current\Controlset\Services\DNE\Parameters
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel.
I have tried a lot of suggestions from the internet but it doesn't seem to work. Please help!

Thank you so much for your response, John.
Yes, i have clicked on "Ignore", however, i receve the same error message for a different address (\System\Current\Controlset\Services\DNE\Parameters) and the Error nuimber changes. It goes from 1401 to 1406.
I Keep Ignoring those error messages but i do get more than 50 of them. And after ignoring a bit more, it gives me some messag stating that "The installation could not be performed" So my only option at that time is "Abort"
:S

Cisco VPN Client 4.8 Error 51

I realize that this is not a Cisco forum, but as I am not a registered Cisco member I thought I would post my Cisco VPN Client 4.8/MBP issues here.
I've been receiving an Error 51 message when attempting to connect to the Cisco VPN since updating to the newest OS updates. In a nutshell this message is stating that I don't have an active network connection. It happens over both wired and wireless connections. I know the network interface is active and I'm able to surf the net without any problems.
I've heard that Cisco released the 4.9 client, but I do not yet have it. I'm waiting to hear back from my network admin on getting the new client version.
Any thoughts or suggestions???

You mean the client I wish I could get, since Cisco doesn't allow downloads, and IT hasn't provided the updated version yet....
And MacUpdate's download page doesn't work anymore either

Mighty Mouse problem with duo core intel mac mini & 26" LCD/TV display

I have an Olevia 26" LCD/TV display connected to my Intel Duo core mac mini and I have been using a Mighty Mouse with it from the start but all of a sudden the mouse pointer will not come out of the upper right corner. It moves out a little and then pops back into the corner.
I connected the Mighty Mouse to my g4 PowerBook and it tracks and scrolls fine. I've also cleaned it and tried it on a solid, dark service while connected to the mac mini and those things don't help either.
Any suggestions anyone. I've been using the Mighty Mouse for months and I love especially the ability to scroll horizonitally as I use Final Cut Pro and that features is GREAT in the timeline window.
I can't seem to find anything here in the discussions specifcally with this issue so any guidance would be appreciated!

hi there--
if all is fine on the install disk, run disk repair http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672. if not, i would reset the open firmware. do this by holding apple-option-o-f on keyboard while you start up and you get a screen that says "welcome to open firmware". type in following commands, without quotations-- "reset-nvram" (hit return) and "reset-all" (hit return). second command restarts the computer. good luck.[:)]

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
CSCsf19841 unity mac does not support 64 bit mac pro platform

What 32inch plus tv to buy in the UK to use with new intel Mac mini

As the title - What 32inch plus tv to buy in the UK to use with 1.83 intel Mac mini. It does not have to have freeview as I will be using tubestick. I do want to use the hdmi connection. Who's got a great setup, with no issues - model numbers appreciated £1200 ish budget

So everything is working normal except for screen saver? Hmm. That's odd. Perhaps your settings are such that shortly after the screen saver kicks in the mini is also set to go to sleep. That would cause the screen to lose sync and give the "no signal" message. Check your Energy Saver against the Screen Saver settings and adjust the sleep interval if need be.
FYI, running a screen saver on an LCD TV is not a good idea long term. An LCD uses a lamp as a backlight, and the lamp has a finite lifetime. Consuming it's limited hours of life by running a screen saver all the time (like overnight, everynight) will shorten considerably the service life of your TV.

Intel Mac mini: Power LED Brightness

Hi,
I've discovered a quirky little 'feature' with my new Intel Mac mini. The brightness of the power LED varies with the time of day - late at night the LED is dimmer that first thing in the morning.
I've verified this by changing the clock time manually and sure enough as soon as I click save the brightness changes.
This didn't happen with my previous PowerPC mini. Anyone else noticed this with the new Intel minis?
Thanks,
Nina
Mac Mini Intel Core Duo 1.66GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Thanks
I noticed it when the PowerPC and Intel minis were side by side one evening and my initial thought was that maybe it's just a duff LED. This morning it was back to full brightness and now tonight, it's dim again. So yeah, I just guessed that is was related to the time.
Nice article btw, highly amusing

Cisco VPN client install fails with Error 1722 on Windows 7

Hi,
I am having issues with laptops upgraded from Vista to Windows 7.
Prior to the upgrade they are running Cisco VPN Client 5.0.05.0290. These laptops also have Juniper Network Connect 6.5 and Citrix web client installed. The windows upgrade advisor made no recommendations regarding uninstalling / reinstalling these apps.
I have done an inplace upgade to Windows 7 (Windows Vista Enterprise 32bit to Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit) and after the install the Cisco client is not working. Uninstalled the client (the uninstall was successful) then reinstalled and the installation fails at Installing Cisco Systems Virtual Adapter - error 1722 there was a problem with the windows installer package.
I have followed the steps for a manual uninstall of the Cisco client and then tried the install again - still not successful. Interestingly (or not) the Juniper Network Connect also fails with the error The Network Connect Virtual adapter driver is not installed properly. This also fails to reinstall after being removed.
I tried removing the VPN clients on another laptop and then running the upgrade but the same errors occured when reinstalling the VPN Client. I have tried the Winfix and DNE patch from Citrix but these fail saying there is a corruption in the application.
On another laptop where only the Cisco VPN client was installed a reinstall was required after the upgrade, but it did install successfully.
On a clean image these applications all install fine, however I have a large number of laptops do upgrade and don't want to do a fresh install and settings migration on all of them.
What files / registry entrys are involved with the DNE adapter so I can manually clear it all out before reinstalling?
Anything else I can do to troubleshoot this issue?
Cheers,
James

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
You should download and run MCPR.exe first, to clean out any traces of McAfee products that conflict with Cisco VPN.
http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe
If there is a problem with vbscript registration on the system - there is a fixit tool from Microsoft for that:
MicrosoftFixit50842.msi
(Using Shrew VPN is a possible workaround.)

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

Cisco VPN Client causes blue screen crash on WindowsXP Pro (Satellite M30)

Hi there,
I've got a Satellite Pro M30 running Windows XP Professional.
After starting a vpn Tunnel via a Cisco VPN Client (Version 4.6 and 4.7) the system crashes with a blue screen.
I can see that the key exchange is successful, but immediatly after the vpn connection gets established Windows XP crashes with a blue screen.
Has anyone an idea, how to solve this problem?
Maybe by device driver update? And if so, which driver should be updated?
Kind regards,
Thorsten

Hi R2D2 (and anyone else)!
1st of all (concerning your link) - I'm not using the wireless adapter.
I am connectet via 100Mbit via network-cable to my hub (all RJ45 TP Cat.5)
I found several other Notebook users by google'ing who have the same problem different vpn-clients but most of them with a centrino processor inside the notebook.
Almost all of them solved the problem by installing new drivers. But I can't use driver-patches from other Notebook to fix my Toshiba Drivers.
What could help is information about which driver is responsible for the crash by vpn clients on centrino notebooks. Maybe there is an Intel driver for it, but when I do not know which one causes the problem it's like seeking a needle in a haystack... :(
Disabling ALL other network devices (wireless, 1394-network adapter, modem, etc.) did not solve the problem.
I used the Cisco VPN clients several times on my old Compaq Notebook without any problems, but here it just doesn't work.
An idea which driver should be updated is kindly welcome!
Thank you, Thorsten

MacOS X: Cisco Any Connect 3.x client crashes with certain user

Hello,
I'm using Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.1.03103. The OS I'm running is Mac OS X 10.8.4 on a MacBook Pro.
During connection (about 5 seconds after pressing the connect button) the VPN clients crashes.

This only happens with one user. With two other users on that same system the issue does not happen.It started after I added Admin rights to that user. I also removed the Admin rights but the error still happens.
I uninstalled the client, deleted /op/cisco directoy and the .anyconnect file in the home directory. I rebooted the MacBook and installed it again. But no change, the error still happens.
Is there any other fix besides deleting and re-creating the user? There must be some configuration file (besides /opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile or the .anyconnect file in the user home ) in the home directory but I haven't found anything.
Help greatly appreciated :-)
Cheers
Niels

We've recently run into an issue related to this. We found that it was related somehow to Firefox. If one looks inside of
/Applications/Cisco/Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client.app/Contents/MacOS/ there are symlinks to Firefox libraries:
$ ls -lntotal 1800-rwxrwxr-x 1 0     80 891232 Aug 3 2012 Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Clientlrwxr-xr-x 1 1001 80      60 Jun 13 15:57 libmozsqlite3.dylib -> /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/libmozsqlite3.dyliblrwxr-xr-x 1 1001 80      55 Jun 13 15:57 libnspr4.dylib -> /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/libnspr4.dyliblrwxr-xr-x 1 1001 80      54 Jun 13 15:57 libnss3.dylib -> /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/libnss3.dyliblrwxr-xr-x 1 1001 80      58 Jun 13 15:57 libnssutil3.dylib -> /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/libnssutil3.dyliblrwxr-xr-x 1 1001 80      54 Jun 13 15:57 libplc4.dylib -> /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/libplc4.dyliblrwxr-xr-x 1 1001 80      55 Jun 13 15:57 libplds4.dylib -> /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/libplds4.dyliblrwxr-xr-x 1 1001 80      58 Jun 13 15:57 libsoftokn3.dylib -> /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/libsoftokn3.dylib
So as a simple confirmation we were able to remove Firefox and have AnyConnect connect fine. As a more permanent workaround we replaced the above symlinks with 0 byte files and we were able to have our cake (AnyConnect connecting) and eat it too (Firefox installed as well).

Failed to install Cisco VPN client 5.0.07.0440 on win 7 64bit [Error 1722]

Hi Gurus,when I tried to install Cisco VPN Client 5.0.07.0440 on Win 7 64bit, the system would pop up an Error 1722( Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.) at the last stage of copying files. Then it would roll back .
I had tried to clean the temp files, restart windows installer services, and also re-register the MSIEXEC file. However, it would still pop up the error during the installation. For our company, it is a common issue. So, could you please offer me some advice on this?

Thank you for your reply.
I had checked the software again and found out.
1. The MSI installer package is fine, because I can install the software on another PC.
2. It is not like that, because I can start the installation procedure and run it smoothly until on the 88% of copying files.
For now, I had only found this issue on one PC.
Thanks.

Cisco VPN client -install error

Hi,
I have a problem when i'm trying to install Cisco VPN client on my Windows 8.1 x64. After downloading 3 or 4 different versions of Cisco it keeps rising the same error concerning a DLL that is required. I'd really appreciate some advice or the reason why
it keeps rising this error.
Greetings,
Cristina

Hi,
I can't find any compatible information with Windows 8 /8.1 about Cisco VPN client:
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=281940730&catid=268438162&os=Windows&softwareid=282364316&release=5.0.07.0410&rellifecycle=&relind=AVAILABLE&reltype=latest
You can just check these steps, If following steps didn't work for you, please contact Cisco support for further help.
On Windows 8.1, you will need to update the DNE first:

ASA , Cisco VPN client with RADIUS authentication

Hi,
I have configured ASA for Cisco VPN client with RADIUS authentication using Windows 2003 IAS.
All seems to be working I get connected and authenticated. However even I use user name and password from Active Directory when connecting with Cisco VPN client I still have to provide these credentials once again when accessing domain resources.
Should it work like this? Would it be possible to configure ASA/IAS/VPN client in such a way so I enter user name/password just once when connecting and getting access to domain resources straight away?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,
It is working as it should.
You can enable the vpn client to start vpn before logon. That way you login to vpn and then logon to the domain. However, you are still entering credentials twice ( vpn and domain) but you have access to domain resources and profiles.
thanks
John

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.
