Troubleshooting

Q. I do not see "Network Logon" icon.

A. Look for a "Switch User" button in the bottom left and click it. If you do not see that button or the "Network Logon" button still does not appear, then the Cisco AnyConnect StartBeforeLogon module may not be installed or may be broken. Contact your local computer support.


Q. The Cisco AnyConnect client generates an error about "unsuccessful domain name resolution", or has a blank text field when it comes up.

A. Enter vpn.ncsu.edu in the text field and try again.


Q. The Cisco AnyConnect Client cannot make a connection to the NCSU VPN.

A. Confirm your machine has an active network connection.


Q. My login is being rejected by the Cisco AnyConnect Client.

A. Make sure you are using your NCSU unityID and current password. Contact NCSU OIT if you continue to have issues.


Q. My login is being rejected by my Windows machine.

A. Make sure you are using your NCSU unityID and current password, and that you are attempted to log on to the WOLFTECH domain. Contact your local computer support if you continue to have issues.
