"AddRoute failed to add a route" error when connected via VPN Client

I'm setup a VPN tunnel between a Cisco 1921 router and a computer running "Software VPN Client".

So far, I've managed to connect to the router via VPN Client:

"ipconfig" shows that I've obtained the new IP 10.70.12.5:

http://puu.sh/6geTQ.png

Which I can ping fine:

And I can ping my regular local machine IP OK:

However, I can no longer ping my regular local gateway, and otherwise have no network connectivity.

And when I look in the VPN Client log window, I see:

http://puu.sh/6ge1v.png

The first error says: "AddRoute failed to add a route with metric of 0: code 160".

Someone in this thread suggested the issue is caused by:

1) Running a 32bit client on 64 bit system. (But I'm running 64bit on 64 bit.)

2) Incorrect installation. (But I've tried re-installing.)

3) Firewall issues on software installation. (But my Windows firewall is disabled.)

4) GPO issues on running/installing software. (But I have full administrative rights.)

What can I do to resolve this?

Update:

I've also tried the this solution, with no success.

Fixed!!

I had specified a certain ACL to be used:

crypto isakmp client configuration group VPNCLIENTGROUP

key VPNCLIENTSHAREDKEY

dns 8.8.8.8

pool VPN_POOL

acl VPN_ACL

However, it was rather undefined, like this:

ip access-list extended VPN_ACL

I fixed it with the following:

ip access-list extended VPN_ACL

remark ### SPLIT TUNNEL ACL ###

permit ip 10.70.0.0 0.0.255.255 any

10.70.0.0/16 is the inside network of the router I'm tunneling in to.

Working like a charm now.

Hi John C.

I have the same exact problem but with a Cisco 2900 series, I implement your advice but still not working, same error pops up on the log...

Could you share your settings (sh run...log) with me (remove\replace your system info)...I'm desperate...please....

 

Thanks...
