[Vpn-help] 2.1.1 Problems on Vista

[Marc Goldburg]

I use the Shrew client regularly on XP, but am having problems with Vista.



The client installs on Vista with no problems and the ShrewSoft IKE, 
DNS and IPSEC daemons are running; but the connection status window 
hangs after "bringing up tunnel" and nothing is logged in any of the 
trace utility windows, even with Log Output Level set to "decode" and 
all of the checkboxes on Debug Output Options selected.



I can ping the VPN concentrator and have the firewall on the machine 
disabled for this testing (and I can connect with the Shrew XP client 
from this same subnet, so it's not a problem with the edge router here).



The machine in question is a Dell running Vista Home Premium; I have 
tried this with and without Service Pack 1.  There's an Intel 82566 
Ethernet interface which is not in use and a Linksys 802.11n adapter 
which is.  There are no extraneous packet filters that I can see 
installed in either controller's protocol stack.



Although the Shrew virtual adapter shows up under the Network Adapters 
section of the Device Manager, I never see it come up; it is always 
marked as down, even when the client is running. The output of an 
ipconfig /all when the client is hanging at the bringing up tunnel 
prompt appears below.
