Until recently my Cisco VPN client was working fine on my Windows 2000 Pro laptop machine.
The problems started when I connected my previously used, configured and operational Linksys wireless PCMCIA card and for some reason Windows decided that it needed to reload the drivers.
I now can't connect *and send data through the tunnel* to either of the VPNs I use regularly.
I can connect using dial-up, but no data gets sent through the tunnel.
When I try through my network card it doesn't think that the sub-system is available, even though the service is running and is bound to that network card.
I've tried re-installing the VPN client, removing the wireless drivers, updating the wireless drivers, experimented with v4.0.2(c), but reverted back to 4.0.2(b) as it made no difference. I've tried amending HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl
Set\Enum in safe mode, Checking that SYS has Full Control and propagated to all sub-keys. I repeated this for ControlSet001 and 002 in safe mode, too. I then re-installed the VPN client.
I amended HKLM\SYSTEM\Services\vsdat
ant - Changing 'Start' to '3' (from '2') in safe mode as per a document that was automatically presented following the blockage of access to port 80 anywhere.
I've upgraded from Win2k SP2 to SP4 to no avail and have prior to that and since re-installed the VPN client to no avail.
Can anyone suggest further experiments or areas to investigate or maybe you had this problem and fixed it !
[ I probably haven't listed everything that has been tried so far, but I don't mind repeating some of the more obscure ones. ]
I know that it is my Cisco VPN that is not working, I can connect to these VPNs successfully from other machines (Windows 95, 98 and 2000).
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
