Cisco VPN Client Random Disconnects

I am connecting to our ASA5510 via Cisco VPN client version 5.x. I am getting continuous disconnects at random times. I have never had a connection last more than 10 minutes. The disconnects happen when the session is idle and also when the session is active. I have had the connection drop on me in the middle of a file transfer even. I have set the session timeout to unlimited but no help. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Ken

The reason for that disconnection might be one of the following:
1) You reached an idle timeout.Increase the idle timeout value.
2) Someone cleared the tunnel.check for the tunnel configuration.
3) Your SA has a very short lifetime.
check if isakmp nat-t is enabled.If not enable the same and check for the issue.
check if TunnelEstablished Registry key is set to 0 which is the right one.

Cisco VPN Client Disconnecting Frequently. Reason:422

I am connecting to ASA 5510 8.4 via Cisco VPN Client 5.x.
It connects successfully but automatically disconnects after random time. sometimes after 20 min. Reason 422.
Log is here:

But I don't see any address change on my LAN adapter.
Help please.

Can you add 'isakmp keepalive threshold infinite' to the VPN tunnel group properties. Then see if the problem resolves?

Please Help - CISCO VPN client disconnecting over wireless adapter

Hi,
I connect to my work network when at home using the CISCO VPN client. I have a wireless connection at home. My vpn conection had no problem until my laptop once dropped hitting the wireless card reader side on the floor. since then, my vpn disconnects after some time. And this also disconnects my wireless connection at home. When I am not connected to work through th eVPN, we have no problems with my wireless connection. But, when I need to work from home, my vpn keeps getting disconnected and throws me off my wireless conenction too everytime. Can someone please tell me how to check if anything is wrong with the laptop?

Ok lets see if we can clear somethings up.
Using wireless and VPN before the "Drop" was ok?
Using Wireless and no VPN after the "Drop" is fine?
Using Wireless and VPN after the "Drop" causes the wireless adapter to disconnect?
If this is correct probally the best thing to do is to remove the cisco VPN software and reinstall it.
It can't be anything to do with the "Drop" as using normal wireless is working fine you say.
and the Cisco VPN Adapter is Virtual.
Let me know how you get on.

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,

Problems w/ VPN Server & Cisco VPN Client on same machine

I really wish that I read about how the developer of the program iVPN no longer supports his work BEFORE I paid for it. It's a great, simple, GUI frontend to the existing Leopard VPN server built in to regular (non-server) OSX...
Anyway, on my Mac that stays @ home:
(1) - I have the iVPN server set up & running to allow me to connect (from my iphone or another computer on the road) to my Mac @ home using L2TP.
(2) - When I'm @ home and need to connect to my company's network, I need to use the Cisco VPN Client (which uses IPSec etc).
So, I found out that when I need to use my Mac to connect to work, I first have to open up the iVPN server to click "Stop Server" (which has me enter my password twice sometimes). Now I close iVPN until I'm done, then open up Activity Monitor for the purpose of finding the still-running process "racoon". I realized this not because it's published info, but because if I don't do this, and try to connect to work using the Cisco VPN Client, it simply will not connect. So, I quit the process "racoon" (which also has me enter my password because it's running as root yada yada). NOW, I can load Cisco VPN Client and successfully connect to my company's network. When I'm finished here, I disconnect the C.V.C., then reopen iVPN Server and restart my server (enter password again).
Is there any way I can make the process "racoon" quit automatically when I turn off the iVPN server? I'd email the developer but I guess that's a lost cause now. It's a shame because he did a fabulous job making iVPN & gave the less computer-networking-literate-user the ability to create their own VPN server without using Terminal.
I thought about the possibility of using iVPN to create a PPTP connection instead of L2TP - thinking that would allow me to keep my iVPN PPTP server running at all times, even when I wanted to use the CVC to connect OUT to work - but:
(1) - I would like the increased security of L2TP.
(2) - When I tried running a PPTP server, and connecting to it from iPhone or other computer, I was NOT able to access the other devices on my network, or the internet. I couldn't even open up a webpage to check whatismyip.com (while sending all traffic over VPN). And yes, the IP Address Range that I have iVPN handing out is within my normal home network's range.
My end goal for all of this when using my Mac is to be able to leave my iVPN server running at all times, while still being able to run the Cisco VPN CLIENT to connect to my company's network.
Or, at least not having to open up Activity Monitor to quit the process racoon... let alone having to enter my password 3 times after opening up iVPN, again to stop the server, again to quit the process racoon. Then a forth when I'm all done and need to start the iVPN server again.
Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there an easier way to accomplish these secure connections? There is a slight possibility of me upgrading and running a dedicated Mac Mini server of some sort perhaps with the real OSX Server. But not right now. I think I'm over complicating this. I mean, my needs are pretty simple:
(1) - Need to connect TO my Mac from IPhone / someone else's Mac or PC for: VNC over SSH, SSH/SFTP file level access, in the future shared network volumes (time capsule). I'd use Back To My Mac for all of this but I don't always connect FROM a Mac.
(2) - Need to connect FROM my Mac to work VPN for: VNC to my work PC to access our company's Windows-only program (dual booting into boot camp or using a virtual machine is out of the question), using Mocha for AS400 access, thinking about using file sharing on work PC but not needed so far.
So it's really just VNC and sometimes SFTP. The "S" being important to me. That's why I don't like the idea of doing away with my iVPN server and just forwarding the outside ports. I use the Vine VNC Server which when checked, only allows access over SSH. The only other remote-logins are used from my iphone using an app called BriefCase (SSH to browse files on remote machine), or using an SFTP client on a computer.
Thank you for reading all of this, and in advance for any insight you can offer.

If the two servers need the same ports, then hosting two different VPN packages on the same box usually won't work.
A firewall-based VPN service can be an option; that external box can deal with NAT and routing and other such and can field incoming or LAN-to-LAN VPNs, and your internal Mac boxes located "behind" that box can be free to initiate outbound VPNs.

Cisco VPN Client is not opening on windows 7 64bits

Hello,
My problem : i instaled Cisco VPN client 5.0.07.0440-k9 on Windows 7 64 bits, the installation ends successfully. But when i restard the computer, when i click it doesnt open.
Notice : when i restard the computer, it takes an infinite time the first rebooting , in the final stage of boot ( The black window with the Microsoft logo and message Windows Is Starting ...) '' it takes an infinite time so i force the reboot.
started the same thread here but no answer yet.
Thank you

check your event viewer/System log. You may see some entries stating that
"The Cisco Systems Inc. IPSec Driver failed to start due to the following error: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file."
disable digital signatures (NOT recommended) and cisco works fine
I guess Cisco has already killed this program if they aren't even getting it certified.

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.

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.
For 64-bit: ftp://files.citrix.com/dneupdate64.msi
Hope that helps.

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.

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

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 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).
