Linux FC4 with Cisco VPN 4.7 - reconnect fails

[geustace]

I am using the std 2.6.12_1398 kernel and am finding that I am unable to get reliable connections. After a reboot, the connection to the Cisco 3000 works fine. I have turned up the logging and but there is nothing obvious. After the last line, below there is a pregnant pause and then the connection fails. Waiting a while and retrying is sometimes successful. A packet trace would suggest that no packets are actually sent to the server at this point.

I made the original posting from a different account.

The application I am trying to use the Cisco VPN client for is quite important, to us. At this time it is not reliable enough to use in a production environment. If there is anyone that can assist (off list) to determine why the re-connects fail, I would really appreciate it. Please contact me via email geustace@godzone.net.nz
