Please describe what happens, any errors. Check and post logs. Then do a sniff.

> I have a client that had Cisco client-based VPN break over the weekend

> Monday morning, Windows VPN users could not connect to the VPN. Mac and
> Linux still works fine.
> 
> Nothing has been changed on the network for a few weeks, and we have
> verified those configurations. Plus, all non-Windows boxes seem to work
> just fine, so it seems to be something on the Windows client side and
> not on the network side.

> We have tried removing all the latest Windows patches, tried taking a
> new box and installing the VPN client on it, and nothing with Windows
> seems to work. We have also turned off all firewalls and AV on the boxes
> and that did not make any difference.
> 
> We have opened a case with Cisco TAC, but they are stumped at this point.

> - From a technical standpoint, what happening is that the ISAKMP SA

> also fails.
> 
> Has anyone else seen this or something similar?
> 
> Any thoughts on where to look for an issue?

> TIA for help!
