Problem: Network Access Manager fails to recognize your wired adapter. Solution: Try unplugging.
- I upgraded to Window 8.1 Preview and my Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client VPN fails to connect. I tried uninstalling, rebooting, and reintalling with no luck. When the Cisco AnyConnect is attempting to connect, it shows 'Performing any required updates'.
- When installing the Cisco client, you will always temporarily lose your Internet connection. In the event that after the install you still have not regained your connection, use WinSockFix to restore it. Otherwise, check out the ShrewSoft VPN Client if you need the ability to connect on Windows 7.
- Hello, When I try to connect with AnyConnect, I receive the notification 'Could not connect to server. Please verify Internet connectivity and server address'.
I have 2 VPN and sometimes I should switch them very often. I decided to create .bat file which could connect to desired VPN with credentials set in this file.
So I create .bat file with following code:
Where 1.txt contains credentials of VPN #1 which has trusted cerficate.
here's what 1.txt contains:
Where 1 goes for GROUP with number 1.
The second VPN is untrusted and I have this prompt awaring me what VPN is untrusted. I used similar code for .bat file:
And following data in 2.txt:
('y' goes for accepting untrusted server)
But now it says 'Login failed' after entering password is prompted and then it appears in loop and never stops.
The question is: how should I modify my 2.txt file to make script connect to VPN #2?
