VPN not working after 10.6.8 update

I am using checkpoint VPN-1 version SecureClient_B634006015_1 for Snow Leopard. After updating to 10.6.8 my network connection outside my local LAN is not accessible. Can't ssh, ping any outside resource. If I turn off secure client then no problems. This worked right up until I updated to 10.6.8. Anyone have any suggestions or similiar situations?
TIA,
Steve

Does anyone know why the Mac Cisco VPN client doesn't prompt for a user ID or Password?
I've been using the Cisco VPN client for over a year, but it looks like the 10.6.8 update broke it.  I've heard that the Apple Cisco client works, but not for me.
When I try to connect the Authenticate dialog  box comes up, but there is no where to  enter my user ID or password like I've seen on dialog snapshots on the web.  All I can do is click on OK or Cancel.  At this point the connection spins for a while and then times out.
I've tried entering both my user ID and password in the Network VPN setup dialog, just my user ID and neither my user ID or password.  Same results every time.  The samples on the web show a  prompt for both user ID and password.
I'm sure my user ID and password are correct because I've copied them from a Linux vpnc configuration that  is working on a virtual machine on my Mac.  I have navigated to the Cisco client file in /private/etc and used one of the web sites to decrypt the group password stored there.  It's the same one I entered in the Network VPN dialog box, but to be absolutely sure I copied the decrypted group password to the Network VPN setup.  Same results.

  • VPN not working after upgrading to Mavericks

    After upgrading to OS X 10.9 Mavericks - VPN not working. I am able to connect to VPN server fron inside local network, but can't do the same from outside through the router (1. I have statis external IP 2. NAT port forwarding is OK 3. Other services on my server work fine through router & NAT using external IP).
    Tried:
    1. Downgrading JAVA from 7.0: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23673943#23673943  - doesn't help
    2. kern.ipc.maxsockbuf is big enough: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23525980#23525980
    Also, IMHO, Apple periodically delete messages from forum about this problem, does anyone else has teh same feeling?
    Any thoughts?

  • Drobo not working after 10.5.8 update

    My drobo stopped working after 10.5.8 update. Now I lost all my data on the drobo. this doesn't make me happy.

    'We are using the USB interface (as opposed to firewire) because we want to share the drive across the network - it's not always about speed.'
    This makes absolutely no sense to me.. but maybe I am wrong : Because firewire is much more reliable than USB and manages to keep highest transfer rates (without jumping up and down as USB would do as soon as I/Os go up...) Especially on a Mac ! (only for the latency I am not too sure, but I guess it is similar on fw and USB.. just increase the caching if you stream hd movies on the network...
    From my experience, sharing a USB drive on the network is probably much worse.. you can find example on the web.. (Orb, Plex and else will start drop frames when connecting to a USB shared drive.)
    I currently use my drobo plugged to my Mini with a fw800 to 400 cable,4*1.5tb hdds, I also share it on the network with gigabit ethernet, and get much better performances than any usb shared drive.
    Sorry I do not have any precize measurement, but I can upload or download a 6tb file in about 10minutes over gigabit ethernet, and I guess the bottleneck is now the Drobo controller...
    The protocol you use may have an impact as well (afp, smb,...) but whatever you use, I suppose Firewire will be faster.
    As a general advice, do not update or upgrade anything in general before you have a backup of your data, this is true for any storage system, Drobo or not.
    Oh, and Data redundancy on a raid is not a backup of course.

  • External monitor Syncmaster 2494SW not working after 10.6.7 update

    External monitor Samsung Syncmaster 2494  SW stopped working after 10.6.7 update on 2011 MacBook Pro. I'm using miniDP-DVI adapter. The monitor shown correctly in Display Properties with right modes and name. MackBook recognizes connection but the monitor goes to PowerSave mode (LED indicator blinks).
    Safemode boot, SMC reset, PRAM reset did not help.
    Exactly the same setup works perfectly under 10.6.6.

    HERE IS THE EASY FIX SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM GUYS:
    I have an 15inch MacBook Pro that I've just installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on.
    Prior to this install, I've had it hooked up to my Samsung SyncMaster 2243 via an Apple MDP/VGA adapter and a third party VGA cable. It has been flashing on and off a black screen every now and then for the past 2 years and I googled that it was just a crappy communication between the MBP and the Samsung... but now since installing 10.6.3, the Samsung display just flashes the desktop for a second then turns black for good - occationally flashing analogue/digtal prompt display. Tried everything for hours. Nothing worked, thought I was gonna have to buy a new all Apple VGA lead then came across Michael's above solution. Tried it and it worked IMMEDIATLY!!! And the monitor doesn't flash black anymore AT ALL!! Whoo-hoo!! Thanks heaps.
    WHAT TO DO TO FIX:
    Go to => System Preferences  => Energy Saver => change graphic settings to Higher Performace.
    Cheers!!

  • IPod touch not working after 5.0.1iOS update

    It seems like a lot of people are having issues after the new 5.0.1iOS update. I want to share my frustration and what problems I'm facing. After the update my ipod won't sync properly. It freezes my computer and then my computer shuts down everytime I have my ipod connected to my computer. My music and apps on my iPod are like ghosts they are visible but do NOT work after being pressed. I tried resetting the ipod, same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, same problem. There is only problems with my computer when the iPod is plugged into the computer and trying to update. I am so ANGRY because I love my iPod and I can't use it to listen to music or communicate with my family and friends. I hope Apple will help all of us soon and fix these HUGE bugs, and FAST.

    Have you tried the sandard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Retore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • [Solved] NetworkManager-pptp VPN not working after update to 0.9.10

    Hello,
    I have a PPTP VPN set up and it's been working for a long time.  However, after I updated last night to networkmanager-0.9.10, it is no longer able to connect to the remote network.  I can activate the VPN connection, enter my password, but after a short period of time, the connection reports:  "Error: Connection activation failed: the VPN service returned invalid configuration."  As I mentioned before, this VPN was working right before the update and I didn't change the configuration on either my computer or the destination network so I'm pretty sure that this is something to do with the update.  I'm wondering if anybody else has run into this problem and if they've been able to find a solution.  I've been searching all over these forums and the internet for some hours now and I haven't found anything yet.  I'm hoping that somebody might be able to point me in the right direction or maybe know of something that might have changed with the new update.
    Here is my VPN configuration (using NetworkManager-PPTP.  I've also obscured the public IP address):

    If you've gotten this far, thank you for taking the time to read through all this!  Any help that you can give would be much appreciated.

    Hmm, not sure about the 3.16 series kernel, but I found that when I upgraded to kernel 3.18 the PPTP VPN also stopped working.  This time, though, it was because, for some reason, there was a change in kernel 3.18 where the firewall kernel modules necessary for the VPN don't get loaded so the firewall won't allow some of the PPTP traffic from the remote side back in.  Since the firewall is stateful, these modules need to be loaded so that the firewall can know that the incoming PPTP traffic from the remote side is part of an existing connection.  Here's what my network manager logs looked like:

    To fix this, I had to add a file to the /etc/modules-load.d directory to have the modules loaded into the kernel at boot.  I just created a file called netfilter.conf and put the following in it:
    nf_nat_pptp
    nf_conntrack_pptp
    nf_conntrack_proto_gre
    Not sure if this addresses your problem or not, but maybe it's worth a look.

  • VPN not working after Update from SLS to MLS

    Hi folks,
    last weekend I updated my Snow Leopard Server following the suggested procedure, installed first Mountain Lion and then OS X Server. Now I have a problem.
    Setup:
    - Macmini Server located  in my private LAN, running SLS as a virtual machine (VMware)
    - connected to the Internet via an AVM FritzBox 7270
    For HTTP (80) and VPN (500, 1701 and 4500) the ports are forwarded to the virtual machine - everything was working well before the update (access to Website & VPN from both internal and external). The VPN connection is used either with an iPhoen or with my Macbook pro.
    The website is still working like expected. VPN service is not working properly anymore. I can access it from internal, but not from external.
    So, to make it clear, nothing but the server OS changed in the setup.
    Any ideas? Changed ports from 10.6 to 10.8?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andre
    (err, and YES, I have a snapshot of 10.6. - if I revert it's working again, but this can't be the solution)

    Hi all,
    to point out the difference, this is what the logs say....
    Connecting from internal, VPN success:

  • Excite PRO 3G connection not work after Android v4.3 update

    Hello,
    I live in Italy and on last Sunday (january 26th) my Excite PRO tablet (model AT10LE-A-10H) got the Android version 4.3.201121220.35.
    After restart my wifi works fine, all other app work fine, but my 3g connection doesn't work, mobile network bar is empty and it says "no service".
    My sim card is ok. I used this sim card before the system update and I didn't get any problem with Android 4.2.2.
    Please help me.
    Thank you

    >After restart my wifi works fine, all other app work fine, but my 3g connection doesn't work, mobile network bar is empty and it says "no service".
    Go to the mobile network settings and search again for the 3G network.
    I had similar problem with my Android Smartphone and my o2 provider
    I started new search, then I chosen the O2 again and then I could solve the problem.
    In case this does not work for you, recommend you to reset the tablet back to default (factory settings)

  • Exchange email will not work after IOS 5.1 update. Anyone else having same problem. Its been three days now I cannot get mail.

    Exchange Email not working on Iphone 4S is anyone else having the same problem and is there a fix for this?

    @ w3nitro
    I'm having the same issues, except only one of my Exchange accounts took a dive after upgrading to iOS 5.1.  My Gmail account (set up as Exchange) works flawlessly but my native Exchange account (work e-mail) stopped working after the update.
    Post update to 5.1:  (work Exchange account) I could view my inbox and view individuals emails in the inbox, but I was unable to send any emails.  Mail started asking for my password after the update (for the affected Exchange account) but once entered, it failed to verify.
    I completley removed the Exchange account and rentered all the account settings but again, failure to verify any information.  I was hoping my password might have changed but it did not.  Also, maybe the IT guy at the office (not very bright) changed some settings but the only difference is the new iOS update.
    And while playing with the iPhone trying to make it work again, I noticed something really weird.  Old emails (2-3 weeks) from multiple email accounts to include the inop Exchange account started showing up again on the pull down notification menu.  I would clear these out of the notificaion menu but they always kept reapearing; very strange.
