I can connect to my VPN using the cisco client on the iPhone 3G after updating to 3.0, but I can't VNC or RDP into any machine. WiFi works with no problem, just when I'm on 3G or EDGE. Anyone else having this problem too?
Got a tip for us?

Cisco VPN and RDP on 3.0

It seems that Apple has added compression to the 3G/EDGE connection to to make the user experience of Safari faster. Im thinking the WiFi connection is not compressed and that is why it works for me with no issues.
This compression may not have been in iPhone 2.x.
Can anyone confirm or have more insight?

Same thing here. Cisco VPN not working (makes a connection, but no traffic; RDP, VNC to VPN) on Edge (have original iPhone), working on WiFi. With 2.1 Cisco VPN on Edge worked fine.

I can't believe only 1 person is having this problem. This is crutial to me being an IT professional and being able to be anywhere and remote in to our network and troubleshoot or reboot.
Sorry to go a bit off topic, but where does one find the Cisco VPN client for iPhone? I've looked all over the App Store and can't find it...
Okay here is the problem I believe. When I am using the Cisco VPN on wifi DNS gets configured properly. When I go to edge/3g DNS is not properly configured so the only way to get to hosts is via the IP address. Try this out and I bet you will see. I logged this as a bug with Apple and they blew it off saying that Cisco Concentrator 3000 was not supported, which is a lie. I am contemplating using one of my dev direct support requests to get them to fix this. This has been an issue since the release of the Cisco functionality.
Hope this helps...
vpn using ip address still doesn't work for me
I am still not able to use IP addresses. I get a connection error. It tells me the connection timed out. Please check your connectivity and connection settings and try again. I tried using Edge and 3G. I tried connecting to an internal switch via the safari and using the IP address. Works with Wifi in the office as that is an internal network. Just can't get it to work via 3G. Will try wifi from home later, but don't have high hopes. I use JaaduRDP. It worked great before I upgraded from 3G to a new Phone 3G S.

I'm able to connect to work via VPN and connect to the servers there via RDP with WinAdmin without issue on my 3GS. I also can load any intranet webpage through the VPN connection. I am also able to connect to anything at work over the VPN on my 3GS by both hostname and IP. Perhaps it's an issue with the IOS version running on your concentrator or PIX?
I've never witnessed the behavior you are describing, and I too am on a 3000 Concentrator.

Fix that worked for me
This is what I did to fix it for me.
Had to enable IPsec over NAT-T in
Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Network (Client) Access > Advance > IPsec > IKE Parameters
(I have an ASA 5505)
