Ubuntu Networking :: Installing Cisco VPN Client On 11.04
May 7, 2011
I'm trying to install the Cisco VPN client on Ubuntu 11.04, kernel version 2.6.38-8 generic-pae. I need a step by step process since I am an absolute beginner with Ubuntu and this is my first install on the operating system. I have already tried the network manager but connection always fails. I have also tried the website [URL] but this always fails, seems this was made for earlier versions of Ubuntu and earlier kernel versions.
When I try to connect to my company's VPN using the Cisco VPN client, I get a kernel panic. Please don't suggest I should Cisco's client, it only works with Kernels older than 2.6.24 (I have 2.6.35).
So I use vpnc. The error message is:
Quote: $ sudo vpnc [sudo] password for phirt: Enter password for user@group@fubar.net: received notice of type (ISAKMP_N_NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN)(14), giving up vpnc: quick mode response rejected: (ISAKMP_N_INVALID_MESSAGE_ID)(9) this means the concentrator did not like what we had to offer. Possible reasons are:
I have got different clients with different SOHO routers on sites (Netgear , Linksys, SnapGear,etc.) All those clients use VPN IPSec . As you know that those routers has many entries :
Tunnel name key lifetime Preshared Secret Phase 1 proposal Phase 2 Proposal etc.
I am trying to familiarize myself to use different VPN clients (a piece of software ), that will be installed on clients, laptops to access their work network from home. I came across a problem with Cisco VPN client V5.0.06 I could not find all the above entries. I know Cisco devices are proprietary, does that mean cisco vpn client is not compatible with those router?
In order to gain access to my university network remotely I was asked to open a website that would act as a gateway. Upon opening the site I was asked to run a Java application, which installed a Cisco AnyConnect VPN client on the system. However, now I do not need this, but I cannot find a way to uninstall it. It does not appear in the Synaptic Manager or the the ubuntu Software centre, so I cannot find the package to uninstall it. The software does appear in the 'Internet' section in the Application drop down menu and runs without the need of Firefox. I read the Cisco release notes but I could not find a way to uninstall the software.
Well I right clicked on the icon on my desktop and by accident when I wanted to copy the command the starts the program i pasted something else on top of it! What I am trying to find out now is what the command is to make it work again. I got so far /opt/cisco/vpn/ but im missing the last part.
I am looking for a softphone that I can connect over a client VPN to my cisco uc520. It works great in windows. Does anyone know of one that works? Cisco doesn't seem to have one that runs in linux.
I've just installed a vpnagent on my Slackware 12.2. A script running the vpnagent daemon is /etc/rc.d/init.d/vpnagent_init. My network is started with rc.inet1. The queston is at which point during the startup to run "vpnagent_init" script. I thought to add a call to rc.locale.
Cisco vpn client would freeze the system. The only way to recover is to do a hard reset. The funny thing is I had it working before, so it may be random. However, it just happened 3 times in a row and I haven't tried again. I'll try again tonight. I'm pretty sure I'm running the latest client for 64bit linux systems. I'll confirm that when I get a chance, as well as my kernel.

I am trying to install this vpn thing for school (I need to access some of my info). I seem to get to the installation part somehow but I keep getting this message
Making module make -C /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/mblack3/Desktop/vpnclient modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.31-17-generic' CC [M] /home/mblack3/Desktop/vpnclient/linuxcniapi.o /home/mblack3/Desktop/vpnclient/linuxcniapi.c:12:26: error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory .....
I am using ubuntu 10.10 and facing problem with cisco VPN connection. VPN connection is getting successful but not able to connect to destination servers.I also tried to add default gw to the the IP which is assigned to my VPN connection but still access to VPN machines not working.
I use VPNC to connect to a Cisco VPN. I am able to connect, but some issues exist when I use SSH. For example, I login through SSH to a computer in the VPN and I execute ls => it works. If I execute ls -la => connection stalls. I think it stalls every time it is supposed to return more content (top, ls /etc).
If I do scp from my end to server => works. If I do scp from server to my end => connection stalls.
Put all Cisco drivers and firmware for wireless in a new ubuntu 10.04. I love ubuntu and I have a big problem with a mini pci wireless Cisco Airo MPI 350...
When I connect to my company's VPN (it's a Cisco), it connects just fine and displays the broadcast message, but once connected I can't ping anything or ssh anywhere. Not on the private network, not on the Internet [URL], nothing. I can still browse the web without difficulties when connected to the VPN, but no ssh or ping. With ping, it properly resolves the host name, but I get 100% packet loss.
Once I disconnect from the VPN, a ping of [URL] works exactly as expected.
I don't have any firewalls set up on this host that I'm aware of (unless something is installed and configured by default).
I can't install/configure this router. I have my PC connected to it via ethernet cable, and Ubuntu sees the connection, but I can't connect to the internet and I can't access 192.168.1.1. I've searched the forum, and I know there are a lot of threads on this, but neither were helpful and since the CD has only win drivers, I couldn't install anything.
I can access the internet through a phone using WiFi though, so theoretically everything is working, I just can't use it with the PC.
I have just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and the Cisco VPN client with : apt-get install network-manager-vpnc
I have imported the PCF provided by my employer into the GUI. The group password also seems ok, when I login to the VPN server, I am provided with the "VPN Login message". (On Windoze, I get an Ok/Cancel popup with the same message). In Ubuntu, I don't get to click "Ok" but it looks like I'm connected properly. The /var/log/syslog file contains numerous static routes added, 30 or so. After the Login Message, I see the couple of line:
Jul 8 12:40:51 ubuntu02 vpnc[1613]: can't open pidfile /var/run/vpnc/pid for writing Jul 8 12:40:52 ubuntu02 NetworkManager[630]: <info> VPN connection 'VPN to my network' (IP Config Get) complete.
I get an IP from the external network correctly as well:
tun0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:172.16.10.170 P-t-P:172.16.10.170 Mask:255.255.255.0
However, I cannot ping any of the machine on the remote network. None of the network services seems to be accessible. Why the machines on the VPN are not accessible?
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04. I'm trying to get a Cisco Valet Connector AM10 to work. It's one of those ZeroCD USB devices that is both storage and modem. Using this link:

I filled out usb_modeswitch like this:

Tried startup with device connected, no success.
Read some threads which generally correspond to version 2 of the device.
It probably uses Ralink chipset(cmiiw). I neither have Rt73 nor prism2_usb installed, confirmed by lsmod.
I've tried to solve this off and on for a few months, but I just can't.I am a windows engineer but wanted to expand my knowledge to Linux.I deperately have tried to get WIFI working but it just wont connect.I am using Ubuntu 9.04 as 9.10 was a problem with video driver.Initially after build I could see my network on the list, but it was greyed out.After trying a few things on the forum I have now installed a windows driver using ndisgtk which now means I can choose my wireless network from the list.Although it does seem to try with the connecting message and asks for the password, it just doesn't connect on.
Things that may be of use am using WPA/WPA2 hardware of machine is IBM Thinkpad T30 (not one of there better models)I work from home and my work machine is working fine, along with all the other wireless kit in the house, it's just this machine.
i got the new Ubuntu 10.04 and manage to get my cisco aironet wireless adapter 340 series working on my wireless dlink modem , but the problem is when i have the wep security on the modem the cisco wont connect
I installed Cisco Anyconnect VPN client from the university website, to connect to the VNP. On Windows Vista everything worked fine without problem, while on Kubuntu 10.04 the installation has been OK, but when the client connects, my internet connection drops, so I'm not able to do anything!How should I fix this?I'm currently using an adsl, connecting through pppoeconf.
There was quite a bit of threads about this card, and getting it to work mostly boils down to downloading Ralink's propitiatory driver. The card uses RT2870 chipset, and Ubuntu comes with two drivers that are supposed to support it, neither of which seems to work with WUSB600N. One of the drivers included with Ubuntu detects networks operating on 2.4GHz but fails to connect to them, but does not detect 5GHz networks at all.
I was wondering if anybody knows what is so special with this card that it doesn't work with drivers that are shipped with Ubuntu? The card works nicely with Ralink's driver, but it's a bit annoying to have to recompile it on every kernel update (would be much nicer if it worked with stock drivers).
I did a forum search and too much came up that was not the answer I was looking for. I have only Linux devices at work and I was wondering how do Linux Administrators connect to Cisco devices via serial console cable. Cisco recommends 'Hyper Terminal' which was a Windows add-on applications licensed to XP. I think Vista and 7 no longer have the license to use Hyper Terminal. Regardless I don't have any versions of Windows and would like to use a serial cable from Com port 1 to the console port on the device. I can't use SSH since some devices don't support SSH and or I have to do a password recovery.
I'm setting up my first Linux laptop with Ubuntu 11.04 and my CB21ag wireless card works, but won't achieve speeds over 11Mbps (maybe not "doing 802.11g rates for some reason?) I guess this cardbus card is manufactured by Atheros for Cisco so I maybe that's why I'm seeing two wireless connections - the one with the "airo" driver gives me 11mbps, the other with the ATH driver would only get me 1mbps so I deleted that. The card seems to disconnect/reconnect periodically too - messages pop up frmo the wireless icon ...
lsmod says "airo" and "ath5k" are loaded
So to get 54Mbps (802.11g speed) I'm wondering if theres maybe a different driver module for the CB21ag card or some configuration I need to tweak. More info - security is static WEP, lshw -C network returns some "wierdness" about network 0 ?

Is using Cisco AnyConnect for ssl remote access, i loged on on my company vpn.abcd.com , using a username and a password, requested a certificate which was added to Firefox certificates, then installed the AnyConnect client. now i can just start the AnyConnect client to connect without the need to access to my company vpn.abcd.comWhat i want to do is to add a vpn connection to the network manager so its always connected once i powered my computer on, and dont need to start the AnyConnect client to get connected each time.
There were three options Password/SecurID, Certificate(TLS), Certificate(TLS) with TPM.I tried the first one, got a message "Unknown certificate from VPN server "vpn.abcd.com". Do you want to accept it?" , accepted entered my password ---> login failedThe other two options need a certificate files which i dont know how to get, is it the firefoxcertificate, or what ?.
Just wanted to ask a small question... I've set up a VPN connection to my university and i installed and configured everything ok, cause I can connect without any problems...
Now that I'm connected I want my browser to run through the VPN tunnel created by the connection so i can access certain sites that are else inaccessible, but how do i force my browser (I'm using firefox atm) to do that?
When I'm on MAC of Windows OS, as soon as i connect with a VPN, all connection run through them. Fedora seems to ignore the VPN connection and just continues to use my home-network to connect to the internet.
So the basic question is: how do i use the VPN connection.
Iuse FC10, kernel 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686, fully updated system
