Comment on iPhone VPN and Cisco IOS, Part2 by Peter B

Hi all,
One thing that I have found to be a big problem is the DNS. It seems that unless you use the split-dns entry on your isakmp config IOS 4+ won’t even attempt to resolve your DNS properly. I haven’t tested this, but I bet it might fix the DNS problems with the built-in IPSec VPN in MacOS.

Also, FYI… never use a ‘.local’ dns suffix if you need IOS support. IOS uses ‘.local’ for bonjour stuff and it just won’t work. There is an apple KB article (TS3389) on this.
Thanks!

I’m looking at these too, I purchase premium quite a bit for clients and the price seems too good to be true. Thanks for the info.

@ Gore… Pretty sure it only works on 8.2 and up

Hey guys,

I know its an old post, but its that only one I could found that somehow addresses my problem.

I seem to have the same problem as JB @8. March to 9. March 2010.

Could someone please confirm, that its impossible to use Essentials license on 8.0 ASA version for more than 2 Anyconnect connections?

Thanks.

Tim, getting any virtualization solution to pass through a hardware device is a real challenge. I doubt VB running on XP can do it correctly. I had to build a system that supported VT-d and use ESXi 4.x before it would it kind of work for me. I’ve seen some references to Zen working as well but I’m not experienced with that.

Hi Scott,

I am interested in your experience with the pv-149 capture card. I am trying to setup a VM using VirtualBox running the BlueCherry Ubuntu ZM on an XP machine. My video card is recognized as a sata storage device. Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this? Thanks.

Where, other than ebay, may one purchase this in USA? With the correct firmware as specified by nerdvittles and actually-wifi unlike most of the interweb search results.

Sorry Zen but I can’t follow up privately with anyone. Also, I haven’t used Broadvoice in years. You can certainly start with the version like in this post. If it’s not sending anything out (are you sniffing the link?) then it’s could be that.
