vpn (cisco IPSEC) works OK, for 1 session, next only after reboot

Hi,


my first cisco IPSEC session works like a charm (Mountain Lion 10.8.4).

When I disconnect I am no longer able to connect again, until I reboot my mac.

This bothers me since on other machines it is working as it should be and there I can reconnect over and over again, without the need to reboot the machine.

So, I am pretty sure that something is not re-initialized correctly when closing the connection (or when opening the new connection)


Who can give me any tip on processes or configuration files to check that should be present while connected and maybe shuld not be present when disconnected?


For what it's worth, here are the log messages:
