VPN Client and Setup for RV042

Is there a definitive setup for a small VPN using the RV042?
Situation is 2 remote users wish to get access to a non server (W7P) pc to access files.
The end point doesn't have a static IP but I've put in a DYNDNS.org so it reports back the IP and I can access the router at least from outside.
I can setup VPN users but is there more to do?
Wish to use QVPN client or advise alternative.
Appreciate all input.
Thanks
Bruce

Bruce,
QuickVPN normally works well for what you wish to do. Make sure that the Windows Firewall is ON in Windows 7 and Windows Vista clients. Turn off all antivirus and third party firewall software as well at least until you have verified that you have a successful connection. It is very easy to set up, just create a username and password in the router. If you run into trouble, post here or call your local Small Business Support Center:

Mavericks VPN dropouts with native VPN client and Cisco IPSec

Since update to Maverics I am experiencing VPN dropouts with native VPN client and Cisco IPSec
I am connecting via a WIFI router to a remote VPN server
The conenction is good for a while but eventually it drops out.
I had Zero issues in mountain lion and only have issues since the update to 10.9
I had similar issues in teh past with an unrelaibel wifi router but i am using a Verizon Fios router and it has worked impecably until mavericks
My thoughts are:
1 -issue with mavericks ( maybe the app sleep funciton affecting eithe VPN or WIFI daemons)
2- Issue with cisco router compaitibility or timing with Cisco IPSEC
3- Issue with WIFI itself on mavericks - some sort of WIFI software bug
Any thousuggestions?

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.

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.

RV220W, VPN client, and Full Tunnel vs Split Tunnel capabilities

For an RV220W, which VPN client mode (of the three possibilities) supports which Tunnel mode?
This is mostly a question, and partly "in use" observations.
Background: I have been able to get all three different VPN clients to work with an RV220W, but only one of the three works in "Full Tunnel" mode (SSL VPN). And since I know one of the three -- the Cisco QuickVPN client -- will never with in that mode, do we know if an RV220W will with an IPSec client in Full Tunnel Mode?
If anyone answers yes, the next question will be vpn client and how did you configure it, client and RV220W, to make full tunnel work.
Summary of VPN modes I've gotten to work with an RV220W:
Client
Split Tunnel Works?
Full Tunnel Works?
OS?

I have to mark this as not a correct answer.
Reason: 0.0.0.0 will not go into either of the fields listed above, message is "Invalid IP address Please enter a value between 1 - 223 at xxx.0.0.0.".
To Michal Bruncko who posted this:
1.) 0.0.0.0 will not work in my router nor in the RV220W online emulator here, (general emulator page here), am I missing something obvious?
2.) Have you used these actual settings on your router, or did you answer in a theoretical, "this should work" way?

How to configure full tunnel with VPN client and router?

I know the concept of split tunnel....Is it possibe to configure vpn client and router full tunnel or instead of router ASA? I know filter options in concentrators is teher options in ISR routers or ASA?

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.

Requesting detailed config and setup for forecast 'period splitting'

I have searched the SAP community, and found little detailed information about configuration and setup for SAP forecast 'period splitting'.
I have selected the standard scenario in the 'Splitting Indicator' (1 - 2 - 4) in MM03/MRP3 for splitting month periods into weeks - AND - I have set the MRP Type found in MM03/MRP1 to 'VV' as specified (with "obligatory forecast indicator set on, which supports forecasts to be used as a basis for MRP).
Doing so has not resulted in my monthly inputted forecasts being split into weeks.
I am thinking that there is some missing configuration that is needed. Please advise if you can.
Thank you

Bert,
Now I am more curious than ever. You mention that your forecasts are not generated by SAP, but are generated by an external forecasting program, using requirements type VSF.
This sounds like your interface program is entering Planned Independent Requirements, not forecasts (for VV MRP type, the MRP element for forecast requirements is called "FORERQ" and not "IndReq"). The field to which you refer ("Splitting indicator" in the MRP3 tab) has no impact on Planned Independent Requirements. To my knowledge, it only works with the integrated forecast generation program that is commonly used in VV MRP type.
Best Regards,
DB49

Cisco ASA 8.3(1) with VPN Client and IP Communicator - one way communication

Hi Community.
I have a strange problem with my setup and I'm pretty sure it's either some type of routing (or NAT) or just a missing rule allowing the traffic. But I'm now at a point where I'd like to request your help.
I have some remote access users who have the Cisco IP Communicator (CIPC) installed on their notebooks. So:
VPN user with CIPC <> ASA Firewall <> Voice Router <> CCM <> IP Phone
The VPN works fine for any other traffic. Also the basic connection for the IP Communicator works fine. It get's connected to the CallManager, is shown as registered and you even can call an internal phone and also external phones. BUT: while you can hear the called party (so the internal phone) it doesn't work for the other way. There is no sound coming from the remote/caller.
I already figured out that it's also not possible to ping from the VPN phone to the internal IP Phone subnet. While the VPN user can ping any other device in the internal network, he can't do it to the Cisco IP Phones. But if the VPN phone calls a none-internal phone (mobiles...) - it works!
My thought is that the call can't be build up correctly between the VPN phone and the internal phone.
I found similiar situations with google but they are all for the other way around: call to internal works, but not to VPN.
What do you think?

Hi,
Typically ASA lists specific networks to the VPN Client when Split Tunnel is used.
This would mean that there is a Split Tunnel ACL used in the ASA configurations for this VPN connection which needs to have the missing network added for the traffic to be tunneled to the VPN connection.

Inbuilt cisco IPSEC vpn client and KeyLife Timeout setting...

Hi Guys
I am having issues with the in built cisco vpn client on the mac, I am currrently using Mac OSx 10.7.4
I have a Fortigate 200B device and have setup the IPSec VPN settings to have a keylife of 86400 seconds.
However the expereince I am having with the mac clients is that after about 50 minutes the users are being asked to re-authencate to the VPN...
When checkin the debug logs I can see that the peer (mac client) is setting the phase 2 tunnel key lifetime to 3600 seconds which is 1 Hour...
Usually in IPSec a re-negeotiation process takes place about 10 minutes or so before the key expires..
My question is where are the VPN settings kept in the Mac... I know it uses Racoon for the IPSec exchange of key and so I would like to tweak the VPN profiles so that the mac sets the lifetime of the key to 86400 instead of 3600 by default...
Also want to be able to set logging to debug mode for the Racoon application on mac clients.
Your help is much appreciated
Kind Regards
Mohamed

Hi Tony,
to the best of my knowledge this is currently not possible, but will be once this enhancement is implemented:
CSCsw31922 Radius upstream VSAs (Tunnel Group,Client type) for VPN policy decisions
You may want to try and ask in the AAA forum if there is anything you can do on ACS...

Configure a VPN client and Site to Site VPN tunnel

Hi, I'm setting up a test network between 2 sites. SiteA has a 515E PIX and SiteB has a 501 PIX. Both sites have been setup with a site to site VPN tunnel, see SiteA config below. I also require that remote clients using Cisco VPN client 3.6 be able to connect into SiteA, be authenticated, get DHCP info and connect to hosts inside the network. However, when I add these config lines, see below, to SiteA PIX it stops the vpn tunnel to SiteB. However, the client can conect and do as needed so that part of my config is correct but I cannot see why the site to site vpn tunnel is then no longer.

SonicWall Global VPN Client and Split tunneling

Hello All,
I searched Google and the forums here and can't find someone with the same problem.
Lets start at the beginning-Just started this job a couple months ago and people brought to my attention immediately an issue while they were on the VPN they could not get to the internet. I know about the different security risks but we have multiple field reps that need internet access while using our CRM program. So I setup Split Tunneling on the Sonicwall. Tested and works fine on my home PC using a WRT54GS Ver 2.1 and the SonicWall Global VPN Client.
So I was sure everything was fine until I just sent out 2 laptops to 2 different sales reps and they are both having the same issue. They can get into the internal network but can't access the internet. They are both on WRT54G (different Vers.). I tested the VPN client on both laptops with tethering on my cell phone and the split tunneling works. I have tried updating firmware thinking that was the issue. I also tried to put their home network on a different subnet. All with no joy. I was wondering if anyone ever ran into something like this or have any clues what to try next.
-Thank You in advance for your time.

Of course, you do as you are told. But I hope you keep written record of what you have been told and have it signed of whoever told you to set it up. It's essential that you stay on the safe side in these matters.
I have read of too many cases where the system/security admin did not do so and in the end was held responsible for security incidents simply because he was told to do something to jeopardize security of the network. Remember, that usually the person who tells you do to so has no idea about the full security implication of a decision.
Thus, I highly recommend to require your road staff to connect with no split tunneling. Refuse to do otherwise unless you have it in writing and you won't be held reliable in any way if something happens because of it.
Just think what happens if the whole customer database gets stolen because of one of the remote sales reps... There is a reason why you apply this web site blocking on your firewalls and there is absolutely no reason that would justify why your remote sale reps don't go through the very same firewall while accessing company-sensitive data in your CRM.
So put that straight with whoever told you to do otherwise and if you they still want to continue anyway get it in writing. Once you ask for the statement in writing many decision-makers come to their senses and let you do your job at the best you can and for what you were hired... And if not, well, at least you got rid of the responsibility in that aspect.

Cisco AnyConnect VPN client and 256 AES encryption in IE8

Hey,
We have a site that we are trying to connect to with the AnyConnect VPN client version 2.5.3055 on Windows XP SP3. As soon as we enter the site info and hit select, it says a connection was unable to be established.
I believe this has to do with the encryption, its set up with 256 bit AES. We are only able to install IE8, which on XP only supports up to 128 bit encryption, so in IE8 the page will not load. To fix that issue we installed firefox which supports 256 bit encryption. We can get to the page there, but when we go to connect to the same site VIA the VPN client it still will not connect. It will work fine on a windows 7 box with IE9 installed from the same network.
My question mainly pertains to how the AnyConnect client connects on the back end. Does it use Internet explorer's SSL layer by default? Or does it have its own? If it connects through internet explorer, is there a way to change it to firefox so it will actually be able to open up a connection?
Thank you for your answers in advance,
John

Hey Jeff,
Thanks for answering that question. Hmm, so it doesnt go through the browsers SSL layer. We have systems on the same network (same proxy, firewall, vlan, etc). All the systems with windows XP SP3 and IE8/IE7 can not connect to the VPN (they arent even able to start the connection and ask for proxy/logon info.), all the systems with windows 7 and IE9 can. Same setups on each one as far as the security policies go as well. I thought it may have to do with the 256 bit encryption that they are using.
If thats not the case, what else could be causing the problem? weve tested it on about 5 XP machines and 5 Win 7 machines, same results on each. Connects on Win 7, does not connect on Win XP.
Thanks,
John

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 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.
