Cisco VPN client 4.04 under WinXP

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.vpn (More info?)

Hi,

I have got a big problem with the above mentioned software.
I tried to install it with the MSN Installer, but during installation my
machine crashed.

Afterwards, since nothing worked I tried to deinstall it which was not
possible and ended with an error "Remove plugin failed." This error caused a
rollback of the uninstall process so far making it impossible to uninstall
the software cleanly.
Reinstalling is not possible either and ends with a similar message (some
error with some plugin - not named precisly).

The biggest problem: My whole networking is not working anymore. After
startup it takes about 2 minutes until I see the little computers in the
taskbar indicating network activity, but even then I cannot use it.
Something is really broken here, issuing a ipconfig on command line results
in NO output (only the wors Windows IP configuration are displayed).

What can I do !??!

Thanks.

Regards

Hello,

You can try to open up Network Connections and the connections entries for your Local Area Connection. One will have your NIC as a description there may be another with the Cisco Systems VPN adapter listed as the description -- Delete both of those.

After that use the Network setup wizard to setup the LAN connection again and restart once you have completed this.

Heres a link that can walk you through the network setup wizard.

*** BE SURE TO RESTART AFTER USING THE WIZARD BEFORE YOU TRY TO INSTALL THE CISCO VPN SOFTWARE AGAIN***
