Please log in for more thread options comes up, identifies the vpn server, logs in, but when it comes to the "securing communications channel" message it just keeps trying, but to no avail. I can't cancel the connect, but rather need to use c-a-d to kill the process (even though it's still 'responding') according to the screen. What settings do I need to change in zonealarm to allow vpn to work? when I shut down zonealarm before starting the vpn client, the client connects normally. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

I think so, but I'm not sure how to find the ip address of the vpn server? -- | ||||||||||||||||||||||

OK, here's what I did 1) under the Firewall / Zones tab of ZA, I had 'cisco systems vpn adaper-- deterministic network enhancer miniport', with the ip address of my default gateway and the subnet of 255.255.0.0 in my trusted zone 2) also on that tab I had 'vpn gateway zone' with the range of my office's vpn server abc.def.ghi.1-abc.def.ghi.255 in my trusted zone 3) cisco systems added a loopback adapter at 127.0.0.1, but there were 2 there already, all in the trusted zone. 4) under the firewall /main tab, advanced, I have only 'disable windoze firewall' checked. I added another entry for the vpn adapter abc.def.ghi.jkl/255.255.0.0 I added another entry for what I found as the default gateway, allowing the whole range mno.pqr.stu.vwx/255.255.0.0 Still nothing. The vpn client finds the server but keeps trying with no succes to establish communications channel. -- | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I had EXACTLY the same problem: Zone Alarm 6.1.737.000, cisco VPN
client 4.6.0049. I suggest you check-out the user-forums on the Zone-Alarm site; It seems that there is a known issue between these two bits of software ...so..... I upgraded the cisco VPN client to 4.8.00.0440 after this it worked first time, 100%, no problem ! Summary: Upgrade the Cisco client if you can...it's a lot easier than trying to fix the problem with Ver 4.6.xxxx | ||||||||||||||||||||||
