Cisco AnyConnect VPN Connection

A client of mine called me just a minute ago and mentioned that she needs a VPN access using Cisco AnyVPN connect. 

Upon google-ing, found out that Cisco requires people to pay for the client download and access! Yikes!

It requires a partner or an admin subscription to access the download location.

As such, after searching hi-and-lo, I manage to locate the file to be downloaded and place them in my personal storage for future references.

The link to download for both English (32bit and 64bit) is here!

Enjoy!

Windows 7 unable to access a Windows 2003 Standard - Networking Issue

I encountered a really weird problem today. I have a client running Windows 7 and had no problems accessing any other servers in the network - Windows 2008 R2. However, when trying to access my Windows 2003 domain controller, 192.168.1.9/255.255.248.0 I couldn't even PING it! 

Yes I have internet access, I can access other servers, I have verified that there's no firewall block on either side (both PC and Server).

Other computers in the network can access all the servers including this Windows 2003 domain controller.

I thought it was a network port, and viola! My Laptop was able to ping and connect to the DC with the same port.

Not the server, not the switch, not the port, not the cable, not firewall.... hmmm.... Then I checked the IP address and found the workstation being assigned 192.168.1.255/255.255.248.0

I set the IP address for workstation to another.... and VIOLA! Resolved!
Set the DHCP reservations on the DC to not-assign .255 address, and problem was resolved!
Set Dynamic IP again for the PC. :)
