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.

Nortel Contivity VPN & iPad

Doesn’t work. I wonder if you could do a screen-sharing to your Mac and use your Nortel client from that host?

pppd180 LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

If you are getting this in the error log after setting up a PPTP VPN on the Mac you probably want to look at this post. Or just disable the firewall between the two hosts.

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
