Cause: Problem with the network adapter configuration that VPN client uses, some time it does not get disabled because someone might have closed laptop and it didn't get terminated properly.
Fix: There are usually two things that work for me
Fix1: Disable "Local Area Connection (x)" that is created and used by CISCO VPN Client. Following are steps on how to do this:
Windows XP:
1. Navigate to network connections by selecting Start >Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections
2. Set the view to show you details (Select 'View' menu on the top and select 'Details')
3. Under Device name column one should be able to see which Local Area Connection is used by CISCO Client. Here is a screenshot:
4. Right click on Local Area Connection that is used by VPN client and disable it (if its already enabled).
5. In case Local Area Connection used by VPN client is disabled then select repair.
FIX 2: This has to do with Windows VISTA specificly.

I found a workaround for my issue which allowed this fix to work for me. I'm using version 5.0.07.0290 on Windows XP Home Edition, sp3 with McAfee antivirus. When I tried the fix that involved enabling vpn adaptor, setting tcp/ip to auto config, and then selecting repair, the message I would get is that it couldn't repair because tcp/ip wasn't enabled. I found out that by bridging the vpn with my hardware network adapter and then unbridging it, I was then able to do the repair on the vpn adaptor, and the connection now works again. Hope that helps.
Thanks Kevin. I am sure it will help others who might run into the same issue.
Amazingly I were running the similar configuration including the AV software from the same vendor.
