VPN Problems

[Lemon]

I just upgraded my home PC with a new network card RTL8139 10/100BT. After the upgrade my Cisco VPN v4.6 software would not connect to my work network. I uninstalled the Cisco Client and re-installed but still no connection. The Cisco Client locks up during the Initializing Connection...... The only error I see is in the VPN Client log....

1 17:41:39.171 10/04/05 Sev=Warning/2 CVPND/0xA3400018
Output size mismatch. Actual: 0, Expected: 237. (DRVIFACE:1341)

This error repeats every second....

I am using WinXP SP2 with a Linksys router WRT54G. The computer is hard wired into the router.

I have tried to connect with no firewalls turned on.

I also tried to re-install the old NIC card but it's so old the WinXP does not like it... it was allway's flakey....

I hope someone will have an idea for me to try......

try to make sure Deterministic netw. enhancer is still active on your normal LAN connection. dissable windows firewall if it dosnt work....

When the DNE is active on my normal Lan I can't get to the internet.. No IP address. Have tried with no firewalls, I even tried without the Linksys router. This past weekend I reloaded WinXP with SP2 after formatting the hard drive. After re-installing the Cisco Client software still could not use the VPN connection.

Hello lemon, I have the exact same problem on my computer with the VPN client. Same version, same error message in the log. Uninstall/Install did not help. Were you able to solve your problem?

Hi Lemon,
i also found the following error message in "FAULTLOG.TXT" in the "C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\VPN Client directory":

1 20:42:30.184 10/28/05 Sev=Critical/1 FIREWALL/0xE3A00003
Fatal error trying to start the firewall. The firewall has not been started.

One message is generated every time I try to connect. I guess this is the root of the problem. But what is the solution?

Check with the network group at your workplace. All the VPN problems I had were either a problem on their end or I was using older client (i.e. when going from XP to Vista OS at home). Using Cisco VPN Client 5.0.02.0090...working great with Vista and my workplace (just logged-off from doing some work as a matter of fact! )
