Hi all,
I am having quite a strange issue that I can't seem to get my head around.
I use Ubuntu both at work and on my laptop at home. I use the built in Cisco VPN in Ubuntu and everything works fine when I use my laptop at other people's houses. The issue is at my own house where I need it most!!
The VPN establishes fine, but then after a couple seconds it stops to work. Not only can I not access anything on the work network but I am even unable to browse any websites whatsoever! I do not get an error to say VPN disconnected or Network disconnected it just sits there with me not being able to do anything.
Now, I should mention that I have very slow broadband speeds at my house (about 4mb). I took the laptop round to a friends last night and it worked fine. He has the same BT Home Hub router that I do and I have checked that mine is on the latest firmware.
I have tried both wireless and ethernet connections.
As far as I can tell the only difference between my house and my friends house is I have much much slower broadband speeds.
Could this really be the cause of the problem?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
