QuickVPN and Windows 8
I had been using QuickVPN from home to connect to an RVS4000 at my office. I recetnly updgraded to a RV180W.
I can connect a Windows 7 Pro PC on my home network to the RV180W with QuickVPN.
But I cannot conncect with a Windos 8 laptop. I have tried all of the compatibility options to no avail - it times out "Verifying Network."
When will Cisco release a Windows 8 version of QuickVPN? Seems silly to not have done so already as it is getting difficult to buy a laptop or PC that does not have Windows 8 loaded. I have searched the Cisco site and there is no information.
I need to know very quickly as I amy need to return the RV180W and look for another solution that works with Windows 8.

Answer 1

Let me analyze all the steps i took :
Make sure the two networks are not overlapping , make sure they are on different subnets otherwise the router won't be able to tell apart ( i.e inside router netwrok 10.1.100.0/24 remote 10.1.101.0/24)
On cisco router :
1) Disable block wan requests
2) Enable remote management
3) Create Group vpn tunnel (group you put the local network , remote i used microsoft vpn client )
On windows machine :
1) Disable all other connections except the one that will be running on the vpn
2) Windows firewall must be on (disable third party firewall)
3) Make 2 exceptions in windows firewall a) one for incoming icmp all ips ( on adnvanced allow edge traversal)
                                                                b) one for outgoing icmp for all ips
4) Make a program excpetion for Quick VPN on firewall
5) On the program right click -> properties -> Compatibility mode for windows vista sp2 and tick run as administrator
Hope that helps.
