I use Cisco AnyConnect on my Windows 7 computer to make VPN connections. It also has capability to connect to WiFi. But I always had problems in connecting toWiFi with AnyConnect. Connection drops frequently and it keeps saying ‘Acquiring IP address‘.

AnyConnect installs a service called ‘Network Access Manager‘ which seems like takes over the native Windows WiFi connecting client. So when I click on the network icon in the System tray it says ‘No connections are available'(See below snapshot). Without AnyConnect, it always displays the WiFi connections available.

If you are facing the problem then you can try the following solution that worked for me.

If you right-click and close Citrix Receiver, then restart it then everything connects as expected. If you wait 10-15 minutes then it get's it's act together.

You'll be sent to a different server, and that may solve the problem.

  • Open Services management console by running Services.msc from Run
  • Find the service ‘Cisco AnyConnect Network Access Manager‘.
  • Right click and stop the service.
  • Now Cisco AnyConnect will say ‘NAM service unavailable‘
  • Now Windows will use the native WiFi client to connect to the WiFi
  • When you reboot your system, the NAM service will start and may cause problem again. You can disable this service in Services management console to prevent that.
