Cisco VPN won't connect over wireless but will if wired (Same router)

Hi,

I am trying to connect my Win XP machine to a Cisco VPN using VPN client ver 4.0.1 (rel) through my Linksys "EtherFast®
Wireless Access Point + Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch".

When I connect to the router using an ethernet cable and the Local Area Connection (Intel Pro/100 NIC) it works just fine. However, if I connect wirelessly to the same router (Wireless Network Connection) it won't connect. When I click on 'connect' the login screen appears for a second and then closes immediately. The VPN client records this message in the log: "04/05/04  Sev=Warning/2      IKE/0xE3000099
Immature Navigation Termination due to error (Navigator:198)"

This occurs whether or not I am using WEP.

What kind of settings on the router would be different for wired connections than for wireless?
Could it have to do with XP's network connections?

I hope I've provided enough info. Thanks in advance to anyone with some ideas!

Hey, bama, that worked! Of all the crazy things I tried, I never thought to try disabling the one thing I thought I needed most. Really weird indeed.

Anyway I'm giving some points to lrmoore for the speedy and comprehensive response- I will download the latest firmware and that should (hopefully) also solve the problem if I need to enable IPsec passthru again.

Thanks to both. Message boards are the greatest. I've never had a problem that couldn't be solved by someone out in the community. Cheers.
