Cisco VPN Client version 5.0.07.0290 is not starting

[Alexandre De Souza]

Dear all,

I am using the Cisco VPN Client version 5.0.07.0290 on Windows 7 Enterprise edition and some weeks ago, when I reboot my system, the Cisco VPN Client is not starting anymore.

I got the following error message: "Error 56: The Cisco Systems, Inc. VPN Service has not been started. Please start this service and try again."

I've already tried to add the cvpnd.exe service manually, no success. Windows return I cannot accees the application. I'm on the administrators group.

The only option i found is unistall the Cisco VPN Client and reinstall it again. It's so painfull.

Please help me out!

Thank you,

Alexandre M de Souza

I couldn't connect to any site. I get auth prompt but I couldn't connect.

Then, I uninstalled it and install the latest version. Now, I'm expiriencing same problem you do.

1. Revise all network connections, even unused ones, to make sure sharing is disabled
2. In services administration, make sure "Internet Connection Sharing" is set to manual.
3. Restart PC
