VPN 

Client 

IPSec Tunnel May Not Connect if 
interfaceIP=0.0.0.0 and autoconnect Set  

Reference Number 888 

In Release 6.8.2, you may encounter a situation whereby 
the progress bar appears on your screen but an IPSec 
tunnel will not connect. This results from an 
interfaceIP=0.0.0.0 setting (in the vpnuser.ini file) and 
autoconnect not working together. 

To work around this problem, open the vpnuser.ini file in a 
text editor such as Notepad, delete the following line and 
save the modified vpnuser.ini file: 

interfaceIP = 0.0.0.0 

Alternatively, you may change the interfaceIP= setting in 
the vpnuser.ini file to the current interface IP address. 
Either of these workarounds allows the tunnel to 
autoconnect.
