    I've managed to setup a IKEv2 VPN(EAP-MSCHAP v2) for my win 7 64bit, everything works all right and the connection is made through native VPN setups in win 7. But right now I want to make it work for Cisco VPN client(version 5.0.07.0440) as well, after the certificate(p.12 file) is imported it looks like there's no responding from my server side when I try to connect via Cisco VPN client, and the error message is: 

    412: The remote peer is no longer responding.

    Well, I don't understand why, how come you can connect through win 7's native setup while Cisco VPN client gives error? Wouldn't they do the same thing when connecting to a VPN server?

    P.S.: sever's using strongSwan.

    I'm trying to connect to a server using Cisco VPN client 5.0.07.0290 on windows 7 but while it's trying to secure the communications channel it comes up with an error 'Failed to enable Virtual Adaptor' Can anyone shed any light on the problem?

    Thanks,

    Ensure that the Internet Connection Sharing service is not running.

    Summary extract:

    In Summary(or for some reason the above link is broken) this worked for me,

    1. Start Menu
    2. Network
    3. Click on Network Sharing
    4. Click on Manage Networks in the new window opened
    5. Right Click on Cisco Adapter and click on Diaognise.
    6. Reset the Network adapter
    7. Now it says there is limited connectivity.Ignore it and restart the machine.
    8. Now try connecting to VPN.Thats all.Now you are connected.

    My suggestion is that you check in network and sharing center/change adapter settings if the cisco virtual adapter is not disabled.
