Cisco VPN no longer works - on 2 machines

Hello all -
I had been successfully running Cisco VPN 4.9.01 (0030) to connect to my work computer from 2 Macs at home after freshly installing Leopard on both of them, but now I cannot connect from either Mac. I also tried installing 4.9.01 (0080) but run in to the same problem. As far as I can tell, it stopped working on Wednesday night or Thursday morning - but I don't recall any software updates that might have caused the problem. My IT people assure me that it should work...
Anyone having a similar issue?
Thanks in advance!
Justin

The issue was with my tech department after all...

My cisco vpn no longer works with Lion

After installing Lion, my cisco vpn no longer works. If I force boot in 32 bit mode it works fine, so appears to be a cisco client issue. Does anyone know if CISCO is working on 64bit client compatible with Lion?

Not sure this answer helps me or anyone else. My VPN connection no longer works in Lion. How do I re-set the parameters of my VPN connection to work in Lion?
Below is what my VPN screen look like:

Cisco VPN no longer works with the E4200

VPN issue with the E4200. Validated that VPN passthrough is enabled. Using Cisco VPN as the client. Used to work prior to the firmware upgrade so not sure what has changed. Error code on the Cisco VPN client is "Secure VPN connection terminated by local client. Reason 414. Failed to establish a TCP connection."
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,
i just had time to to a network capture
The ip have been changed but btw :
- 172.20.10.2 = A computer conntect to internet that will try to reach the vpn server behind the E4200
- 77.56.226.107 = The internet valid ip address of the Linksys E4200 router.
So below is the proof that GRE protocol is not forwarded/passing the router.
Frames 29/30/31 : Standard TCP/IP communication intialization. SYN, SNY ACK, ACK....
Frames 32/34/36/37/38/39 : initialization of pp2p using port 1723
Frame 43 : ACK of 39
Frames 40,52,67,80... Request send using protocol 47 GRE... and the server not responding as the router blocks them...
No.

Cisco VPN no longer working after firmware update

I have been using the Cisco VPN network connection to access work; after the recent update, both my Macs stopped working -- no changes have been made.
Is this a known bug? I looked at the settings, verified everything with no luck.
Thanks.

See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12800407&tstart=0. If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

VPN no longer working after upgrade to Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, the Cisco VPN client stopped working.   This was due to the fact it ran in 64-bit, but SL allowed you to switch to 32bit which then the app still worked.
You also had the choice of using the MacOS 'VPN' program, but it always disconnected quite often for me.
After the upgrade, the Cisco VPN client no longer works at all, I assume again due to the fact 32bit is no longer around, however the Mac VPN client no longer works either. It will connect, however no traffic goes over the VPN (it gets blackholed) rendering it useless.
I have this behavior on multiple Macs, so I'm not sure if this is a known issue, or if the Mac VPN client no longer plays nice with the Cisco ASA firewalls?

It appears that ML no longer supports 32bit applications at all.
Therefore, you have 2 options:
1) Use the built in VPN client, you will need your IT's help for this as it requires the group name and password of your VPN server.   You can configure it by going to System Preferences -> Network and 'adding' an VPN (Cisco IPSec) interface.   I haven't had much luck with it, it works sometimes and sometimes it fails, but other people swear by it.
2) Move over to the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client, which does support 64bit. This will also require your IT department as they need to configure the SSL/AnyConnect VPN on the VPN device itself.   I went to this method yesterday and it's worked out great so far.

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

Hi,
I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal. I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8. Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved. Here is the steps sent to me
Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
(should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
1. Click on Applications
2. Click on Utilities
3. Click on Terminal
4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

La Cie Porsche Design External Hard Drive no longer working with Time Machine since update to Yosemite.

My La Cie Porsche Design External Hard Drive USB 3.0 is no longer working with Time Machine. Is Yosemite the cause? How do I fix?

Can you see the drive in Disk Utility? If so, try selecting it and using the Mount button in the top menu. You can also run repair disk and repair permissions.

[T400] Cisco VPN client not working over wireless adapter (but works on cabled connection)

I have a very strange problem.
I need to connect to my work via the cisco vpn client (version 5.0.00.0340).
My previous laptop (T43 , windows XP) worked well through both wired / wireless connections. My desktop machine (vista) works via wired connection (it has no wireless connection).
On my new T400, the VPN client works via a wired connection but not via the wireless adapter.
On the wireless apapter, the vpn seems to connect OK, but when I try to access resources via the VPN there is little response.
I get this in the vpn log...
405 08:56:57.073 04/16/09 Sev=Warning/2 IPSEC/0xE3700003
Function CniInjectSend() failed with an error code of 0xa4510009 (IPSecDrvCB:846)
I've tried disabling the firewall (in both the T400 and the router), removed access connections, and disabling tcp v6. I've rebooted everything too.
But, nothing seems to work. I suspect the problem is on the t400 somewhere, because the old laptop used to work OK via wireless.
I've seen some google links on cisco vpn not working via wireless but nothing seems to apply to my exact situation yet.
Anyone else had this problem or know of a fix? Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

all good now, got it working.
The Deterministic network thing was not installed on the wireless adapter for some reason.
So, I installed the latest wireless driver, reinstalled the vpn and all is good now.

It looks like VMware is interfering with it. Either uninstall that, or see below.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Does anyone have any idea how or why?

Corporate VPN no longer works on WRT310N

I had a WRT54G router installed and my corporate VPN worked fine. I gave that one to a relative, replacing it with a WRT310N, which comes with "all" of the VPN settings enabled. I tried the corporate VPN, and it worked for about 10 minutes. Now, I cannot connect at all. My company did not change anything, co-workers can connect through their home networks. Other computers on my network have no issues getting out to the network. Any ideas as to what I should be looking for?
Thanks

Login to the router's setup page and click on Security tab,uncheck "Filter Anonymous Internet Requests" and click on save settings...Click on subtab VPN Passthrough and check L2TP Passthrough if you have opened the ports on the router.

VPN no longer working from MAC (Windows works)

Greetings,
after a few months our vpn stopped working when trying to connect with a
Mac using PPTP. Windows still works like a charm, though. When browsing the
log files (on server and client), I see that both machines send several
LCP_ConfReq packets, but neither machine sends a ConfAck or a ConfNack, and
after several packets, the client drops the connection.
I am 100% certain that I didn't change the configuration on either computer,
and it did work two or three months ago.
Can anybody point me to some clues?
Yours,
Alexander

SRS5 VPN no longer works

Upgraded a working, VPN-connected DTU to the 4.2 RR firmware. We are attempting to connect to an existing (working!) SRSS 4.1 server. This combination is working on the LAN but not via VPN from a WAN connection. Watching the OSD, PH I seems to succeed and move on to PH II which seems like it might have succeeded but the DTU resets too quickly to tell for sure. The only thing we notice in the setting is the new (?) Session Timeout setting which apparently defaults to zero.
Any suggestions, RTFM's, etc would be greatly appreciated as we have quite a number of DTUs using the VPN connection that need to be upgraded.
Additional information:
Does not work: GUI4.2_77_2009.10.19.17.01 (downloaded today)
Works: GUI4.2_17_2009.06.24.11.48 (EA I believe)
Firmware update happened over DSL remote successfully without errors.
Edited by: ArtPeck on Nov 19, 2009 1:13 PM

Yes, I see this too on one site: It works ok with the 4.2 EA2 firmware but fails without passing any data packets (according to the Cisco) instantly the VPN is set up.
To a different site however, the same firmware combination is ok.

Vpn not longer works

I Can't make my VPN work on my ipad 4 generation again can some one help me to make it work again step my step
thanks hope hear from someone soon

I have a huge problem with my 27" iMac and VPN, since Mavericks.
I always used it and it worked perfectly for years. Since Mavs, when I am connected to VPN, I will get a little snitch message come up asking if any one of many apple processes (icloud helper, assistand just examples). No matter what I click, allow or deny, the machine instantly crashes and power recycles. It comes up with the white screen "your computer restarted because of a problem" and then boots up.
It is losing me a lot of data each time, and is very worrying to see the machine just die in an heartbeat like that.
Anyone know if this is the same issue you are speaking about on this thread? I need a fix, basically VPN is off limits to me now as i can't risk data loss and corruptions. It happens every time i get the LS message pop up. any advice greatly appreciated.
