CISCO VPN PROBLEMS ON VISTA

[JT_Delray]

Re-posting as new thread

I have the same problem, yet I do not see that Citrix client as the
sole cause (if at all) since I do not run it.

MULTIPLE re-boots are not solving the problem. Here is some more
information on the problem for the benefit of other searchers (my
exact configuration may or may not be contributing to the problem vs.
a software bug):

Windows Vista Business 32-bit
Dell Latitude D420
U2500 @ 1.20GHz Processor
2038MB RAM

I run Cisco VPN version 5.0.00.0090 as administrator on this machine.

Despite disabling other connections (e.g. besides one ethernet
connection in use), and enabling "Local Area Connection 2" manually
(which is for Cisco Systems VPN Adapter on my setup), the error
message persists, and occurs COMMONLY:

"VPN Client: Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client.
Reason 442: Failed to enable Virtual Adapter. Connection terminated
on: MM DD YYYY HH:MM:SS Duration: 0 day(s), 00:00.00"

This has amounted to a relatively severe loss of productivity; I'm
disappointed in Cisco's inability to resolve (darn near impossible to
find meaningful, current information on their site)...

JT--

I've had the same problem on occasion, which I usually resolve in a
reboot... However, this problem was much more persistant when I installed
over the beta client that was posted several months back. After uninstalling
the client and rebooting, I had to verify that everything was removed by
following the directions at this link:

After completing them and rebooting, reinstall the client, and reimport your
profile(s). Hopefully this works out for you.

Take care,
Evan

Installing ~340 version fixes consistently
