Hello, this is just a heads up for anyone planning on getting Verizon BroadbandAccess to use with their PowerBook to access Cisco VPN.

It doesn't work.

Other VPNs work fine, but there is a problem with Cisco.

Verizon is not able to help.

The Cisco Client error looks like the error log below. Basically, when trying to connect, it fails.

Code:
Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.7.00 (0510)
Copyright (C) 1998-2005 Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Client Type(s): Mac OS X
Running on: Darwin 8.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.2.0: Fri Jun 24 17:46:54 PDT 2005; root:xnu-792.2.4.obj~3/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh
Config file directory: /etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient

1      16:28:29.595  10/11/2005  Sev=Warning/2   CVPND/0xC3400003
Function DeviceIoControl failed with an error code of 0x00000000(DRVIFACE:1985)

2      16:28:30.492  10/11/2005  Sev=Warning/2   CVPND/0xC3400003
Function DeviceIoControl failed with an error code of 0x00000000(DRVIFACE:1985)


We are in the process to find out what TCP/IP and UDP ports Cisco is using. I am guessing there is a problem with the Verizon handling UDP traffic (just a guess).

Also, this PowerBook, connects find via Ethernet and Airport, so there is not a firewall issue on it.

I will post more info here, as we find it out, so that hopefully, this will help someone who finds this thread.

it appears the current version of VZAccess for Mac 1.1, does not support Cisco VPN on Mac OS X. So, check if there is a more current version of VZAccess that works before purchasing.

Verizon Tech Support has confirmed this.

If there is a change, we will post here.

FYI, other VPNs work fine with Mac.

Hmmm... I consistently use Cisco VPN client over the 650 (almost every day), and it works every time.

In fact, I work at Cisco, and other Mac users here haven't had a problem either with the combo.

Great, thanks for the confirmation. Apparently the problems this one person was having, may be related to his setup/configuration.

Were there any extra steps you needed to perform to get it working?

Thanks!

No extras steps required. Same VPN procedure, regardless if I'm using Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or EVDO.

I will have to get more info from the customer, they were able to use the Cisco Client from ethernet & Airport without problems but had problems over EVDO - on the same Mac.

Could you elaborate a little as to your environment? Which Mac? Which Cisco client and version? Which EVDO vendor, HW and network? Mac OS version?

I am definitely NOT a mac newby, and have NEVER been able to get the Cisco client to work over EVDO. I've resorted to VPN Tracker as a work around, but I'd prefer to use the original Cisco client, if I could.

Thanks in advance,

Greg

P.S. The company I work for is based out of Morrisville, NC, even though I live in TN.
