Wireless Cisco VPN

[Whitey2k3]

I had a wireless linksys router set up with one computer hardwired and one laptop with a wireless pci card. When I directly connected the laptop to the DSL modem, I had no problem when connecting to a VPN while using Cisco VPN client. I connected like normal and then was able to access features such as e-mail through microsoft exchange network. However, when connected wirelessly, I had a problem. The Cisco VPN seemed to connect normally and was connected to the server, but the e-mail and other VPN features were not accessible, claiming that the remote server was not available. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have tried many things like port forwarding and DMZ hosting but nothing seems to work on this laptop running windows 98 2nd ed. At this point I just want to find all the possible solutions from "use a hardwired router" to "Get D-link wireless" I just want to know what all my possibilities are.

Thanks,

Whitey

I too have problems when using my cisco vpn client over wirelss. If I run a cat 5 cable directly to my Netgear router no problems...I control servers over my entire WAN at work from the comfort of my home. But if I stick the wireless card in the laptop and disconnect the cat5, no go. It won't even pop up the login window. I am able to ping the ip of the concentrator, but it just won't make the link with the software client.

My buddy has a linksys router and experieces the same thing.



You were born an original. Don't die a copy!

Anyone know the answer to this problem? I'm having it too. Works fine over Cat5 but not over wifi.

I disabled the tunneling option in the cisco vpn software
and things started working for me.
