Cisco VPN disconnects after 5 seconds with error 422

Cisco VPN disconnects after 5 seconds with error 422 I'm trying to connect to my university's server with VPN using Cisco VPN Client version 5.0.04, but after 5 seconds it disconnects with the error message 422: Lost contact with the secure gateway. Check your connection.

"I got it to work, I know why, and I doubt anyone is going to have the same problem as me.

My computer name has always been localhost (no, really, In the system->computer name dialog, I named it localhost). This screws up the network for other windows machines, because if they try to enter \localhost\ in the address bar, windows reports a network name collision.

And apparently Cisco VPN doesn't like my computer name either."

"This fixes it on VMWare Fusion:

(in /Library/Application Support/VMWare Fusion/)

sudo ./vmnet-apps.sh --stop"
