After much shagging around I am at my wits end
(a short but eventful stroll :-) )
I am trying to get a Cisco VPN client going.
Compilation and installation appeared to go well giving no errors.
I installed the supplied magic file in the indicated directory and tried
to connect.
All I got after typing:
vpnclient connect tel_broadband
was:
<sample output>
Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.8.00 (0490)
Copyright (C) 1998-2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Client Type(s): Linux
Running on: Linux 2.6.17-12-generic #2 SMP Mon Jul 16 19:37:58 UTC 2007 i686
Config file directory: /etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient
Initializing the VPN connection.
Initiating TCP to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, port NNN
Contacting the gateway at XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client
Reason: Remote peer is no longer responding.
There are no new notification messages at this time.
</sample output>
(ip numbers XXX and port numbers NNN changed to protect the innocent)
After much fiddling with my firewall opening up the necessary ports,
doing the pass-through thing etc I am still getting the same thing.
According to my ADSL modem manual I have things set up correctly.
Google tells me that some people have had problems with this VPN client
and some have not. Either way there is not a whole lot of info that I
can find.
(its actual executable is vpnclient)
Has anyone had much experience with this Cisco thing before?
Tips on where to look are also welcome.
Cheers,
Zane
