CISCO VPN VERSION 4.8.02 WITH WINDOWS VISTA

[Guest]

I USE CISCO VPN VERSION 4.8 WHEN I WORK FROM HOME ON MY WINDOWS XP EVERTHING
WAS FINE. NOW I BROUGHT A VISTA AND I CONTINUE TO GET A ERROR MESSAGE FROM
CISCO INDICATING "REASON 440" DRIVER FAILURE??
ANYONE KNOWS WHAT THIS MEANS AND HOW TO FIX IT?

Shawn,

Not having any info other than what you posted makes it difficult to answer
your question.

1. Search the Cisco forums or DAGS for "Cisco VPN" and you will come across
the most typical causes.

2. Version 4.8 is stated not to work with Vista but yet, you will find
reports that some people have it up and running by inserting a line or two
in the config file and opening a couple of ports on their local router.

3. Ver 5.0 is the one that supposedly supports Vista but.... it does not
contain the firewall code. So if you use v5.0 and the server enforces that
the firewall be used - you aren't going anywhere. Cisco states that their
vendor isn't supplying the firewall code anymore so Cisco is simply not
going to offer it.

4. By doing the search above you may come across a modification that works
for you but it appears to be a 50/50 shot.

CISCO has a beta VPN for Vista and it works. Drop me a note and I can e-mail
the file to you. (e-mail address removed)

Does this beta include the firewall?

Yes. Do remember, it's beta. It works.

If he's referring to 5.0 beta, it does not.

Agree. I've tried v 5.0 and earlier beta and stable versions using all the
tricks I could find and our VPN server said - "No firewall, not washy....;-)

Yeah, you need to work with your firewall admin to have them create a
profile that doesn't require the firewall. Otherwise, as you've found, it
will just disconnect you.
