[Config] VPN issues in Cisco http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20421061 en Thu, 04 Dec 2008 16:05:56 EDT Thu, 04 Dec 2008 16:05:56 EDT Re: [Config] VPN issues http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20424220 DocLarge : Leathal,

every forum you go to, it's the same s**t, dude. You have a problem you can't figure out, then you criticize the folks who can't fix the problem you came looking for help with. The lacking of intelligence isn't within this forum, moreso, the person asking for help...

A majority of us in this forum are Cisco certified, and I can think of a few people who "could" help you but most likely won't bother now because they are "intelligent" enough (by reading your commentary) not deal with your attitude.

Oh, as TomS would say, "looks like you've got homework!" :)

In some cases, the cable modems themselves had firewalls built in that were also blocking ports.

Let's try some troubleshooting questions.... Is it always the same people that have problems with VPN? Have you "problem" laptops from a known "good" internet connection? Are they plugging into home routers or directly into the cable modem? Do they have firewalls active and if so, what ports are open? Are IPSec (protocol 50), UDP 500, UDP 4500 and UDP 10000 open on your users' home routers/firewalls?

These forums are NOT tech support. It is a support community where volunteers come together to paruse and solve problems. It is NOT assistance whenever you need it. If someone can help you, they will try their best. elnino See Profile gave you an answer that solved his problem based on his experience. There is no reason to insult him.

If you needed it immediately, you could have called TAC as soon as the problem manifested itself. There is a lot of "intelligence" here, we just aren't paid to provide support to end users.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20422981 Fri, 02 May 2008 19:06:26 EDT Re: [Config] VPN issues http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20422907 Leathal :

Generally speaking, the problem is either with their home router or ISP. The home router isn't IPSEC passthru compatible or isn't passing NAT-T. I get a call like this every couple months. I go back and check the logs and on our VPN Concentrator there is no traffic received but there is traffic sent. Normally when I have them plug directly into their cable modem, it works. Once behind their router, it stops working.
I guess we'll have to phone Cisco and speak to someone with some intelligence as it's obvious I came to the wrong place again... (sigh)

We have not been able to figure out how to make the VPN stable and have thought about putting something like Checkpoint or ISA server to replace the VPN.
Replace PIX with other product like Checkpoint or ISA may not solve the problem, without understanding thoroughly the problem cause.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20421834 Fri, 02 May 2008 15:01:38 EDT [Config] VPN issues http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20421061 Leathal : We have PIX 515e's UR/FO

We use "vpnclient-win-msi-5.0.02.0090-k9.exe" on the clients.

When we login from different internet providers, the ones at the office or ones at peoples homes 50% of them the PIX conneds to the LAN and the 50% of the time it doesn't. So in the statistics info you see everything normally except the Packets Decrypted is 0, and the bytes recieved is also 0, but sent byes are counting up, and ther rest of the packets are moving up as well.

Here is a copy of the config. We have not been able to figure out how to make the VPN stable and have thought about putting something like Checkpoint or ISA server to replace the VPN. If you see anything wrong with the config that would effect the VPN please let me know... Thanks.
