Parallels 4124 broke Cisco VPN 4.9
I just installed Parellels 3.0 build 4124, and after rebooting my mac after a successful installation, my Cisco VPN client v4.9.0 no longer works. I was able to connect fine using the Cisco VPN client in Mac OSX, through my firewall and everything.

VPN client window now shows a dialog with this message:
Error 51: Unable to communicate with the VPN subsystem.
Please make sure that you have at least one network interface that is currently active and has an IP address and start this application again.

I can only press OK and then the client exits. This occurs both when Parallels is running and not running.

My machine has a valid IP address issued via DHCP. When using shared networking I can browse and e-mail and stuff in Mac and in the Boot Camp WinXP Pro VM under Parallels 3.0. Bridged networking doesn't seem to work either DHCP or assigned IP, but that's not my main concern and a different problem.

I've tried restarting the Cisco VPN daemon in Mac OS X, but no go:

BuccaneersDen:~ erick$ sudo /System/Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN/CiscoVPN restart
Stopping Cisco Systems VPN Driver
kextunload: unload kext /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext succeded
Starting Cisco Systems VPN Driver
kextload: /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext loaded successfully

I've run Repair Disk Permissions, but nothing needed to be repaired there. Before installing Parallels, I ran DiskWarrior and fixed any problems.

HELP!

I'm going to try uninstalling Parallels 3.0 (and Parallels Tools) - hopefully my BootCamp partition will still boot in 2.5 or VMWare Fusion.

Thanks,

--Erick
