Cisco AnyConnect VPN can’t connect over Wireless

This was a problem with a Mac user working from home.  You can read the details here. benhar states “Turns out the cause was his ISP. The original installer never terminated the cables properly in the outside junction box. They were just laying on the ground! Plus his equipment was like 7 years old so that was replaced too. He says things are working better than before.”

Cisco support disappointing for wireless Access points

I support a client who had a (Cisco) Linksys Wireless G router and the power supply adapter died.  I spoke to Cisco support today to find out how to get a replacement power adapter and the support rep said that they don’t offer them.  She suggested that I would need to find a 3rd party adapter  to fix it.  When I told the client this, they threw it away and asked me to start replacing their networking infrastructure with a vendor with better support.  Any ideas?

Kernel panics after installing Cisco VPN client for Mac

This kernel extension if it is on your mac will probably cause a kernel panic in 10.6.

com.cisco.nke.ipsec 2.0.1

As I documented on this page earlier only AnyConnect is compatible with 10.6.  The older Mac Cisco software should not be used or it will panic.  Cisco has no plans to update that software.  You can read someone who did some troubleshooting and traced the problem to the installation of the Cisco VPN client here. In addition this page has more resources about troubleshooting Cisco VPN with 10.6 or Snow Leopard.

Is your Cisco VPN timing out after 15 minutes?

From this Cisco document.

1. Easiest – I disabled the option for (Stateful Firewall) on a few clients and so far it has worked. I have some users that even have the problem while on a VPN connection over a Pix 501 configured with the Easy VPN.  Thanks rbostwick!

2. Little more time consuming – vpnclient.ini change this:
StatefulFirewallAllowICMP 0
to
StatefulFirewallAllowICMP 1
