I was trying to log into work but had trouble making a VPN connection. I use Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client. This post describes how to fix the following error messages when using Windows 8 Pro:
- Cisco Anyconnect Unable To Contact
- Cisco Vpn Will Not Connect
- Cisco Anyconnect Will Not Connect On Wifi

Recipient(s) - separate email addresses with a comma Message. Connect to Wireless using tethering mobile phone - then test internet connection works.

Overview Stanford's VPN allows you to connect to Stanford's network as if you were on campus, making access to restricted services possible.

The steps to fix this problem are as follows:
1. Edit a registry entry by running a program called regedit. Right-click on it and Run as administrator. Note that I use Start8, by Stardock, to have a Start button and menu. After you left-click on Run as administrator, your computer might ask you to enter the admin password.
2. Go to the appropriate VPN registry directory called ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesvpnva
3. Double left-click the DisplayName key.
An Edit String pop-up window will appear.
The text under the Value data: field on my computer looked like this.
Cisco Anyconnect Unable To Contact
@oem20.inf,%vpnva_Desc%;Cisco AnyConnect VPN Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64
4. Change the field to
Cisco AnyConnect VPN Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64
by removing all the text and characters that are on the left of the word Cisco.
The end result should look like this:
5. Left-click the ‘OK’ button.
6. Exit the Registry Editor
7. Run Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client and reconnect.
That’s all there is to it. Good luck!

I recently updated my computer on February 13, 2014 with Microsoft’s updates and saw that the text under the Value data: field on my computer looked like this:
@oem10.inf,%VPNVA64_Desc%;Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64
It is different from what I had originally posted. I’m not really sure how or why it changed and I don’t have time to find out. I also updated to Cisco AnyConnect Secury Mobility Client Version 3.1.04066. As far as I can tell, the value of …
@oem10.inf,%VPNVA64_Desc%;Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64
.. works, but the value of

Cisco Vpn Will Not Connect
does not work with Cisco AnyConnect Secury Mobility Client Version 3.1.04066.
Update : 2/15/2014
Changing the Value data: field to
Cisco Anyconnect Will Not Connect On Wifi
Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64
without

Cisco Anyconnect Does Not Connect
Cisco Anyconnect Internet Not Working
seems to work better, too.
