Cisco VPN and AOL 7.0 Issues

[cniguy]

We have a Cisco 3000 VPN concentrator ... working great under MOST conditions. I have heard there are issues with AOL 7.0 and the Cisco VPN client. Also, we have experienced users of AOL 7.0 being unable to connect using the Cisco client. Anyone having similar problems? Anyone have any solutions ... other than Don't user AOL 7.0.

I work with nortel vpn software and hardware, and it is flakey with AOL software. AOL even admitted it. I know this does not help you, but it may enforce the fact that your vpn is only a viable solution if your isp is allowing vpn to work with it's software and network.

We are using Symantec's RaptorMobile VPN client and are unable to make it work over AOL connections.

I tried AOL 7.0 and at the suggestion of AOL DSL support 6.0 Neither worked. Apparently they will work if dual tunneling is allowed - but this is generally not allowed because of security problems.

I use

over DSL. When I installed Cisco vpn 3.5 I couldn't log on to

http://www.aol.com

either. AOL won't deal with it.

I had this exact problem at a client site....
Remote users connecting through AOL 7 couldn't establish a VPN connection. I downgraded them to AOL 6 and the thing worked like a charm
