I'm having great difficulty trying to get Cisco vpn client version 4.6 to connect to a vpn
server over the internet. The vpn client is on a windows xp pc and an 02 Broadband
connection using an 02 wireless box. I think these 02 wireless boxes are rubbish and may
be the source of my problem but I need more data to be sure. The firewall in the 02 box is
hard wired at 'standard' level and cannot be disabled and the user interface is baffling
when it comes to ports and such. From the client I can ping the ip address of the server
location and I get four replies. When trying to connect the vpn client fails with the
message '....failed to establish a TCP connection'. Something tells me the vpn connection
is failing to make it beyond the 02 box but without more data I can't be certain.
Thus I was wondering if anyone knew of software that will troubleshoot a vpn connection
and give data and feedback on where the blocks are. Thanks for any help.

They would be local numbers of the 192.168.xxx.xxx sort and so would be
useless to anyone else. But they must not conflict with your gateway.

If you don't trust us,...then you are just plain screwed.

And,...

1. This group is for ISA Server and using VPN with it,...this group is not
for Cisco VPN which is somewhat proprietary to Cisco and how they designed
it.

2. Posting to comp.dcom.vpn may be appropriate, but you crossposted to a
non-relevant group when you did that.

3. I doubt anyone here is going to have any idea what an "02 wireless box"
is to begin with.
