Hello everyone. 5 days back i am trying to figure this one out and I decidec to throw in a towel and ask. I am using Win 7 Professional 32 bit and Cisco VPN client 5.0.6. I have some premade profiles that I get from the company I work for, I load them into a Cisco VPN, press connect, it asks for pass, says connected, but... On the old Win XP system it used to re-route all the traffic to the VPN adapter, and when I was connected to VPN nothing worked besides the company website and exchange e-mail. On this system it doesnt re-route anything, it just sits in the corner saying connected, but my ip is still the old one... Any solutions ? Thanks in advance

    []Compatibility Mode:
    • Try running the Cisco VPN client in compatibility mode for Windows XP to see if it resolves the redirection...

    • Temporarily disable any third-party firewall or antivirus software to check if they are interfering with the VPN connection.
    [    ]Network Adapter Priority:
    • Check the network adapter priority setting to ensure the VPN adapter is set to a higher priority for traffic routing.
    []Update VPN Client:
    • Verify if there are any updates available for the Cisco VPN client that address compatibility issues with Windows 7.

    • If other solutions do not work, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the Cisco VPN client to reset the settings.

      Additional Information:​

    • IP Configuration:
    • You can also check your IP configuration using the command prompt (cmd) and running ipconfig /all to see which network adapters are active and their configurations.
    • Logs and Event Viewer:
    • Check the VPN client logs for any error messages that might indicate the cause of the issue. Additionally, review the Event Viewer for any related events.
