I have a Inspiron 630m and trying to connect to a cisco vpn. At one point dell had posted a work around for the issue but now they have taken it down and don’t give any support for the issue. The cisco vpn that was recently upgraded to v.4.8.01.0300 and I think that the upgrade might be related. I could connect to the VPN but could not ping, remote desktop, or map a drive to the network. When I was not using the wireless router (netgear WGR614v6) or my wireless network card Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card the VPN works without problem. Surprisingly, the solution was to down grade my network driver from version v.4.100.15.5 to 3.120.27.0. Two years later Dell posted this work around so it appears this setting changed between the two version of the driver.
This issue has been confirmed when Cisco Virtual Private Network (VPN) Client 4.6 or newer is used in conjunction with the Dell Wireless WLAN 4.10 or newer wireless network driver. It has been reproduced on Dell Wireless 1350, 1450, 1390 and 1490 network adapters in the Microsoft ® Windows®  XP operating systems. Investigations are underway to fully understand this issue and determine the root cause.
