Cisco VPN connection failing

I'm been using a Cisco Systems VPN client Version 4.0.3(C) from home for over a year to connect through our PIX firewall at work.  Recently it I randonly get the error message:

"Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client. Reason 412: The remote peer is no longer responding. Not connected."

I have a cable connection at home and have tried connecting directly to the cable modem (bypassing the D-link wireless router). I am running Windows XP on my IBM Thinkpad with all the latest updates.

One day I can connect, the next I cannot. Any suggestions?

Did you recently install SP2 on XP?
If yes, you may need to upgrade from 4.0.3 to 4.0.5 or 4.6
Both of these releases were published specifically for SP2 compatibility.
Also, do you know if you have hotfix 05-019 ? It's causing all sorts of networking issues lately..

I have both SP2 and the hotfix.  It must have happened after the hot fix because it only startered a few weeks ago.  Will a new version of the VPN Client help or should I uninstall the hotfix?  Do you know where I can get the new version of the VPN Client?
