VPN Client on Windows XP do not work properly

[hthivessen]

Hello,

I have configured a cisco 1710 with version 12.3(11)T. With a Windows 2000 client I can connect with IPSec to the router and work in the office. With Windows XP I can connect to the router but can not work in the office. I have tried several cisco vpn clients. The router shows me following message on the console if I ping from the client to the router:

%C1700_EM-1-ERROR: packet-rx error: ESP protocol absent, id 98, pool offset 0

It seems that the ESP protocol is not o.k. from the client !??

Has anybody an idea what the mistake is ??

Thanks for help

Hello,

I have solved this problem.

I have downgraded the IOS to 12.3(9b)- now it works.

Be careful when going to 12.3(8)x and above......LOTS of bugs there.
