FYI - Our company discovered that a recent version of the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client (v2.3.0254) will not allow a remote connection to be established with an MS Analysis Services database cube. This would apply to pretty much any application such as Excel 2007, ProClarity, Visual Studio BIDS, MDX Studio, etc. The error only indicates a problem with the "Transport Layer". The resolution (for now) is to uninstall the Cisco VPN AnyConnect client version and reinstall the previous version (v2.3.0185). Good luck with this...

Update: The connection problem has reappeared less than 1 week later. We are still using the older VPN client, so apparently this is not the complete reason. If anyone else has experienced this problem, please share your insight, thanks.

Can you tell from any VPN logs whether specific ports are being blocked? Alternatively, have the admins who set up the VPN specifically allowed/denied a set of ports e.g. 80, 8080, 21 etc? Analysis services definitely doesn't talk over port 80, so if that's all they allow, then you'll need to mod your VPN config.
