Hi,

   I'm using ShrewVPN 2.0.0 on Windows XP to connect to a ipsec-tools-0.6.7
FreeBSD gateway.  It turns out that after connected to the gateway,
the DNS settings are not updated:

C:\> ipconfig/all
.
.
Ethernet adapter {0AE43808-97E4-4B98-8017-EC4A87E0CCCA}:
 	Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
 	Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Shrew Soft Virtual Adapter - 
Packet Scheduler Miniport
 	Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : AA-AA-AA-AA-AA-00
 	Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
 	IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.123.2
 	Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
 	Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.123.2
 	Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.5

   As you may aware, the WINS server(configured as "Obtained Automatically")
address is correct but there is no "DNS Servers" in aforementioned output
even if I uncheck the "Obtained Automatically" box and specify "DNS Server 
Address" manually.

   The server side mode_cfg is:

mode_cfg {
         # starting address of the IP address pool
         network4        192.168.123.2;
         netmask4        255.255.255.0;

         # maximum number of clients
         pool_size       20;

         # authentication source user database on the system
         auth_source     system;

         # configuration source from data given in this section
         conf_source     local;

         # DNS and WINS servers IP addresses
         dns4            192.168.1.1;
         wins4           192.168.0.5;

         # welcome message
         banner          "/usr/local/etc/racoon/motd";
}

   Could this be related to the static DNS settings in my Windows XP network
connections?
