Morning chaps

Having an issue on my works laptop, VPN is erroring with an error 51, wont even load to let me try and connect.

I've spoken to my helpdesk who haven't a clue, it's being looked at. I think it could be something to do with McAfee but I've tried turning off HIPs and it still wont work.

Any idea?

 

well I feel a bit better than none of you know either

 

Have you tried turning it off and back on again

 

what software are you using? mac or windows? if mac, then cisco?

 

Slow down there techy ..

Cisco VPN on win 7

 

Can you try with the AV completely switched off. I know in Kaspersky this has to be done in safe mode in services or self defense will re-enable it.

 

No, the VPN service needs to be running, which it wont do in Safe mode. I can't understand it either as it's a corp build and I'd mess it up.

 

i'll spit it out there:
have you checked whether internet connection sharing has not been enabled somehow? I take it it's a laptop? if yes, it has 2 network adapters, a LAN and a WLAN, might be you have somehow enabled it.

as well, very often switching off the service helps.

Aye, I tried all the suggestions throughout the Google results

 

Restart your router?

 

It was HIPS
