cisco vpn startup issue

I had the problem to startup the vpnclient - see error:

root@localhost:/work# vpnclient connect cisco
Cisco Systems VPN Client Version 4.8.01 (0640)
Copyright (C) 1998-2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Client Type(s): Linux
Running on: Linux 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686
Config file directory: /etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient

Initializing the VPN connection.
Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client
Reason: Failed to establish a VPN connection.
There are no new notification messages at this time.

The solution was: DISABLE FIREWALL, or you can open specific ports if you know which one :-)

Good luck!
