What version of Cisco ASA IPsec VPN are you running?<br />
<br />
Does the VPN work when you are using different PC?<br />
<br />
You may need to install Cisco VPN client versoion 5.0.07 or newer as this is the version that has support for Windows 8 machines.<br />
<br />
If you have version 5.0.07 installed and VPN works on a different PC then make sure you have installed all the windows security updates and try again.<br />
<br />
If that does not work, we would need to have a look at the configuration of the VPN server. &nbsp;If you are not the administrator of the VPN server I would suggest contacting the person responsible for it and have them look into it.

Cisco VPN / Windows 8

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
