Or sometimes, you get lucky…this was one of those times. OK, so now what? Well, truth be told, since I didn’t have time to troubleshoot this immediately, I set the problem aside for a while, which can be a good way to let your brain work on the problem while you’re doing other things. The client software installs fine, but I found that when I tried to connect, I’d get the following error message: So, the next step was to try installing the VPN client software in the VM itself. But since I’m not a networking geek, I’ll leave that to others to explain. Which is interesting, because while I was onsite recently, when I connected to the LAN directly via cable, that connection would pass through to the VM. Unfortunately, the VPN connection does not pass through to the virtual machine I set up, using client Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 (update 1). I had no trouble at all installing and connecting with this software from my laptop over my FiOS connection. With my current client, I need to be able to access files, servers, and tools on their remote network, which they enable via the Cisco An圜onnect VPN client software.
