AnyConnect 3.1.03103 on Windows XP SP3: "Connection attempt failed. Please try again"

Hi security experts ;)

 

I configured a client-based SSL VPN lab throught the GNS3. this is my network topology:

USER-PC is a vmware virtual machine. It uses the vmnet30 interface to work. with the vmnet30 interface I can choose two of my virtual machines, Windows XP Professional SP3 and Windows 10 Professional. both use a different version of the Cisco AnyConnect. WXP uses the 3.1.03103 version, and W10 uses the 4.3.04027 version. ASAv-9.8(2) firewall uses the anyconnect-win-3.1.03103-k9.pkg file to run AnyConnect service (the same version installed on WXP machine).

 

what is the problem? If I use Windows XP machine, the VPN client doesn't work, it can't connect to the Cisco ASA via SSL. It give me a message error: "Connection attempt failed. Please try again":

following you can see the message history by the VPN client:

how can I fix this problem? If I use the W10 machine I have not this problem! I don't see any message errors, and the SSL VPN brings up perfectly. what is wrong with WXP machine? for my virtual labs I prefer use WXP then W10. It uses less host resources, and it is more faster than W10.

It seems you are running 9.8 on your ASA.

Minimum version for anyconnect in this case is 4.x.
