“Solution”
Here is what you will need to to.
- Go to “start” “run” and “cmd” and type the command “ncpa.cpl” to launch the network connections window.
2. This is just a quick way to get to your network connections screen and you can also launch the network connection window by navigating to the control panel.
3. Right-click the connection and choose properties and un-check the “Internet Protocol Version 6(TCP/IPv6)”
Now right-click the Cisco AnyConnect client and choose “Network Repair” and this should fix the problem.
Try connecting again and this time it will and should work, the reason behind this is that your adapter chooses IPV6 which may a preferred path by the service provider.
