Try another Router. I had terrible problems with the Cisco VPN client
and a Dlink router for a client who needed to access the Ford Motor
Company VPN. This client had 2 sites and they both had the same problem
which could be cured by rebooting the routers. Swapped the router on one
site for a Zyxel and the problem went away so we changed the other site
and that was that. Its probably got something to do with NAT but I never
did get a sensible answer out of either Dlink or Cisco.
