Hi All


I have a strange problem at hand.


I have 2 PC's, on the SAME IP range and the same network. The one is a Win 7 Pro machine and the other one a Windows 8 Pro machine


Both connect to a VPN network using the SAME Cisco VPN Client


Now BOTH connect fine to the VPN (status on Cisco VPN client says Connected).


Here is the problem:


The Windows 7 machine can access and ping to a local address on the VPN, nl 192.165.34.20.
The Windows 8 machine, however, cannot ping to that same address, although it is connected to the VPN.


I have done a CLEAN install on the windows 8 machine and have NO antivirus programs - Windows firewall is also disabled.


I have run the Client on the Windows 8 machine in various compatibility modes, but no luck..


Help Please !?


Thanks

Thank you chev65. I believe you are right. I will just have to wait for Cisco to upgrade their client

Thank you for your reply
