Greetings,
First of all, I want to say that I'm not a network pro and therefore
need some help that I can easily understand.
I'm contracting with a company that has loaned me an IBM ThinkPad with
the Cisco VPN client 4.0.4 installed. I've thus far been unsuccessful
in connecting to their network.I'm connecting to the Internet via a
static IP address, and then launching the VPN client, which attempts to
connect. I eventually get the error: "warning 201: the necessary VPN
sub-system is not available. You can not connect to the remote VPN
server."
Their IT support, made an attempt to help, without much luck, since
they don't support home offiice networks. I'm connecting to the
Internet vis a DSL modem and an Asante FriendlyNet hub (that I use for
my Macs and printer). I just disconnected the straight-through cable
from my ethernet connection on my Mac and connected it to the ThinkPad,
setup the Windows network (TCP/IP) with my static IP address, and as I
said, launched the VPN client that is unable to connect.
Can I assume that the VPN client is looking for a DHCP connection, and
that my static IP address has nothing to do with this problem? Any
suggestions on what I can do to fix this?
Thanks!
.
