Cisco VPN Reason 442

Hi,
I work in a remote sales office and I installed the Cisco VPN client on my
laptop while connected to my executive suite wireless network and then
connect to the vpn at our HQ with no problem. When I go home and connect to
my home network and launch the client I get the "Reason 442: Cannot enable
the virtual adaptor" error. After trying to connect at home I can no longer
connect at the office either. I can uninstall the client and reinstall and
it will work either at home or work, depending on where I am when I install
it. As soon as I try to connect to the VPN while getting internet access
from a network other than the one I was on when I installed the client, I get
the Reason 442 error. I travel a lot and this is a big problem for me.

I have tried versions 4.8.01.0590 and 4.8.02.0010 and 5.0.00.0090. I
couldn't get the 5.0 version to work even on the first install. I have also
tried adding the UseLegacyIKEPort=0 line to my profile.

Also, I had 4.8.01.059 running yesterday, shut my laptop down for the night,
booted up on the same network and the virtual adaptor cannot be enabled.

The VPN worked fine at work, home and road when I was running WinXP, but
since switching to Vista I just can't get it to work consistantly.

Thanks

Mike,

I have read your posts. I did some tests but I don't have this issue. You may try to remove Cisco VPN Client manually. If that doesn't help, you may want to post in Cisco forums. If you do figure it out please post back.

Robert, Thanks for your response. I "think" I got 5.0.00.0090 by adding the
UseLegacyIKEPort=0 line to my profile. I have connected via my office LAN
and my Verizon wireless card. Will try my home network tonight.

I do have another interesting thing that still persists. Whenever I'm
connected to the VPN I cannot access other computers on my local network. I
also cannot access a printer that's sitting on the LAN. Whenver trying to
connect to another computer I get the error "Microsoft Windows Network: The
local device name is already in use". As soon as I disconnect the VPN I can
connect.

Thoughts?

Thanks, Mike

I haven't tried the Cisco VPN client v5, but I believe you can check Allow local LAN access. However, "The
local device name is already in use" is different issue. Do you receive this message when mapping a remote computer drive?

I have the same problem, but I use multiple profiles to connect to several networks. One works while the other gives the Reason: 442. The problem is on Vista. No problem with XP tho.

Cisco VPN Reason 442

Posted: 03-05-2007, 07:03 PM

Has anyone found the cure to the Reason 442: Cannot enable Virtual Adaptor
error? I've tried all versions of the client, up to 5.0.00.0090

Thanks,

Reason 442

Posted: 03-08-2007, 03:42 AM

I got my version (I downloaded about 4 different versions all the way up to 5 before getting it to work with 4.8.02.0010) working a few days ago. However out of the blue today I'm getting the 442 error. This is so frustrating. I don't understand why mine was working perfectly and now is not working at all.

The explanations are in french, but they very helpful.
I worked several days before to find it on the web !

Hey guy
The fix for 442 is simple - just tick 'Allow Local LAN Access' on th
Transport tab of connection properties
Good luck

Hi rawel,

I already have that option selected, and I still get the problem of
not enabling the virtual adapter 9 out of 10 times I try to connect.

Thanks
Rob
