I just can't get this to work out of the box/running wizard. I'm
getting error on client of:

Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client.
Reason 412: The remote peer is no longer responding.

What areas should I be looking at please? I've set the VPN Easy Server
up and made it Initiate as well as Respond. I'm using a key phrase to
connect with. I've tested the VPN server in the SDM software and its
says its ok.

Short of an entire dump please let me know what more info you need?

Are you using a firewall on your PC such as Windows XP firewall ?

Did you add the Cisco VPN client as an exception ?

Firewall must be configured to permit UDP ports 500 and 62515 whcih are
required for cisco vpn client.

I have F-Secure on client which I think is configured to allow the VPN
client - I will check. As for the network there is no software
firewall on the server, just the Cisco box. I assume that the wizard
setup the correct rules to allow clients in but how do I check this
port config?

Thanks for responding - you are the first one in over a month and I was
going slowly mad!

I'd never heard of 62515 being required before. I see it listed in
the VPN 3000 concentrator FAQ,
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/471/vpn_3000_faq.shtml
along with 62514 thru 62524.

The description of the port use given in the FAQ does not suggest
to me that the firewall would need to be opened to permit any of those
ports: they appear to me to only to be talking from the local machine
to itself?

besides disabling your firewall, verify that you PC is actually
transmitting packets.
Start a cmd windows and run the command "netstat -s -p ip 60" to see IP
sned and receive packet counts
