Cisco VPN dows not work with Tata Photon?

[central_bank]

Hi,

I have a VPN setup in my network.

Whenever I try to connect to VPN using Tata Photon, VPN successfully gets established, but I can not access/ping any devices in network.

If I connect VPN using any other internet source (Broad band, internet lease line) VPN works properly.

I have cofigured split tunneling on 1941 series routers.

One thing I have observes is that, after connecting photon, default route injected in PC has metric of 41 and after connecting VPN, specific route for network has metric of 100.

Could this be a issue? can PC prefer exact route over default route?

Exact route is always prefered over default route.

what is the difference as far as routing is concern between Tata Photon and other internet connection after you connect to VPN?

Hi Venkyn,

I too got into the same situation where I am using Tata Photon + Cisco VPN to connect my Office Network and I am not able to connect internet after connecting VPN. After a lot of trials and researched, I finally got the solution to work. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Connect the data card into the Laptop
2. Do not use Phone wizard to connect internet. Close the Photon wizard window.
3. Use Photon modem at Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections 
or
   Select Cisco VPN-> Select "Connection Entry" +right click -> select modify --> select Dial-up --> select "Connect to the Interent via Dial-up" and connect VPN
4. Connect Internet by giving username/pwd 

5. Now you connect cisco vpn 

Now you are able to access Internet as well as Client Network..

This worked for me and my colleague. Hope this will help you..

Thanks
