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?
