hi everyone
I'm trying to use cisco vpn client on my new win 8.1 machine. I had installation error 27850 at first but updated DNE and was able to successfully intall it. but now I cannot connect to the vpn that I want. I receive this error:
Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the client. Reason 414: failed to establish a TCP connection.

I disabled my internet security software and windows firewall but still get this error message.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?

In the VPN client, enable the LOG then attempt the connection. Review the log or post a sanitized log file here for review.

I saved the log and here it is:
Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 5.0.07.0440
Copyright (C) 1998-2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Client Type(s): Windows, WinNT
Running on: 6.2.9200
Config file directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\

Thats it? I see no connection attempt.
You might want to remove and reinstall.

i did a few times :(

Well if that is all the log has, then the VPN client is really hosed.

A sanity check: YOu did run this as admin correct?

lol.. yes.

Please make sure below services are Running
-SMS agent host
-Background intelligence service
