During the day I work here at an architectural firm in McLean, VA as the IT manager. The principals and associates use the Cisco VPN client
4.01 to VPN into the network and all of them can connect without problems. We have a Windows Small Business Server 2003 domain behind a PIX 501 connected to a Cox cable business class internet connection and a static IP from Cox. The PIX is acting as our DHCP server. The previous IT guy set it up that way. I would rather have the SBS 2003 server acting as the DHCP server, since it is already the domain controller, but that is one of those "if it ain't broke don't fix it things" that I haven't gotten around to. We are using the 192.168.1.0 scope internally. At home I have a Windows Small Business Server 2003 domain for my home network. I also have a Cox cable business class internet connection on a static IP with a Juniper Networks Netscreen 5GT firewall. In my network the SBS 2003 DC is the DHCP server and I am using the 192.168.16.0 scope. I have loaded the same Cisco 4.01 VPN client on my personal laptop at home running Win XP Pro SP2 using the same media and settings that I use at work to load it on the principals laptops. When I try to connect I get the "Secure VPN connection terminated locally by client, remote peer is no longer responding" error. I have included the log file from the client. I have made an exception in the Windows Firewall on my laptop for the Cisco VPN client. The funny thing is my wife works for the local school system and they gave her a Cisco VPN client 4.01 CD to load on her personal laptop at home and she can connect with their system just fine going out through a Linksys wireless router doing NAT that connects to a switch on my network and then my Netscreen firewall to get to the internet. Her laptop is not part of my domain. I segregate her and the kids from my domain by having them connect through the Linksys wireless router. They are in a workgroup. So I don't think it is my firewall. I checked the connection settings in her Cisco VPN client and they look pretty much identical to the way I set up our VPN client to connect through our PIX 501.Log file Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.0.1 (Rel) Copyright (C) 1998-2003 Cisco Systems, Inc.
