VPN session remains up but can no longer get to internal devices

Our remote users in Germany are provided with a mixture of Vodafone 3G Mobile Connect Cards (PCMCIA) and "USB sticks" for cellular broadband access. Installed on their laptops is Vodafone's Mobile Connect Client & Cisco VPN client version 5.
To connect, they first connect to Vodafone's "VPN access point" -- Vodafone's VPN only service offering. Once connected, they VPN into the network with the Cisco client. All users connect to a Cisco 3020 Concentrator.
Users are able to access network resources, however, they lose connectivity after 5-10min. What's unusual is, it doesn't look like the VPN session drops since the padlock in the right hand corner remains locked; they just can't access network resources.
To troubleshoot...
a) We had a user establish a VPN session then immediately start a continuous ping to an internal device's IP address. The connection stayed up for 20min before requests started timing out.
b) We enabled "IPSec over TCP" on the client and Concentrator side, no change.
What could possibly be causing this behavior?

Does Vodafone use Venturi Transport Protocol clients for Windows like Verizon's does with their EvDO cards? If so, we had to turn off and eventually uninstall the Venturi client software because it detrimentally interfered with IPsec traffic.

    The error I see is you did not specify the proper authentication for the smtp server.
    In the Mail preferences for the account, smtp popup, select Edit SMTP Server List.  A sheet will drop down.  Select Advanced tab on that sheet.  You should, I assume, set the Authentication to password, and set the proper username and password.  That's where the poper would be set if 587 is not the one you should be using.  Maybe it is.  I only bring it up since I see it trying to use port 587.
    If you got this stuff already set correctly then I don't know.  Mail has a problem in your setup.  Maybe delete the account and recreate it from scratch.

    You can't re-download it after it has expired (if that's the case).
    You could try to contact support, and you MAY get an exception...

    I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8.   I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events.  If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?

    From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
             See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

    I can no longer get the column view since installing 12.0.1.26. The only thing my iTunes for PC will not display the column view of songs any more  The only thing I have access to is the view that displays the album covers. I used the Help function, followed the procedure several times.  When I click on the music icon, the icon flashes, but does not bring up a menu as shown in the "help" file.

    1) reset the iPad. Hold power home button until screen goes black, apple logo appears-release
    2) delete the app, reinstall.
    3) wait for an update to the app

  • I can no longer get to my e-mail from MY pc computer.

    I can no longer get my e-mail from (MY) PC.  This started happening about a week ago.  I have Win 7 Pro,  IE 9, Icloud 2.1.1.3, and I normally use Thunderbird instead of Outlook.  TB says problem with loging in to server.  I then tried Icloud.com, can log in just fine but when it starts to load mail, a message comes up that says "There was a problem loading the application" and the report message says 'a possible network error or missing resources'.  I can use a different computer and get my mail just fine from Icloud.com.  TB also sends mail just fine.  Can anyone help?

    I would feel dreadful If I thought had caused you a problem.   The warnings about Java are fully justified but providing you are communicating with a known source, and as I said, you disable it the moment you have finished, you should be safe.
    It might also be worth asking your bank what problem they have and would it be the same if you were using Firefox, for example.
    Like you, I am very security minded, in fact I won't even put my bank details on my Mac let alone run my account that way.
