I'm trying to connect to the Cisco VPN client 5.2 on vista 64 host using a windows xp guest.

Using NAT, I get the internet to work in the guest, but I cannot connect to the VPN. It times out and gives me the reason 412: The remote peer is no longer responding, and terminates the connect. I made sure that all the ports were unblocked, and I turned of all firewalls within the host and guest.

I was told I need to use a bridged network... which I see there are plenty of posts of other people having issues as well. I get no internet connectivity when the "attached to" configuration under network from NAT to bridged adapter. I left everything else default, and my ethernet controller is already there by default. Is there anything else I need to do?

I am a first time virtualbox user and I would really appreciate any help you can give me.


Thanks,

Setup VBox to use Bridged and not NAT.
You also might benefit from the new version of VBox that was released today Ver 2.2.2

Yea i just installed 2.2.0 last night and I upgraded to 2.2.2 today.

Isn't what I described in my post... setting up vbox to use bridged and not NAT? When I use a bridged adapter, my internet does not work within the guest OS.

Please describe how your Host is connected to the internet. If you have a direct connection, meaning without a router, then Bridged Mode will not work, because your ISP only gives you one IP address, and your Host already has that.

Hadn't thought of that. I am directly connected, so no router.

So i need a router in order to connect to cisco's vpn client through the guest? Not possible to connect to it through NAT?

thanks!

Since this is not a VPN problem you need to start a new post. Please re-post under Windows guest.

I am going to delete your post to keep it from getting cluttered with unrelated posts.

There are two options the TS can do. One is run the VPN client on the Host itself. The other is buy a router. These things aren't that expensive and are very useful.

Same problem here. Cisco VPN worked fine on my XP guest with version 2.14 but fails bigtime with the newer versions.
I tried all network options. Nothing works. Great job
Back to the old 2.14 version I guess....
