[Vpn-help] New 2.1.0 beta 6 release ...

[Matthew Grooms]

All,

I just posted a the 2.1.0 beta 6 release on the website. This build 
includes changes that hopefully correct the pesky DNS issue. I believe 
the problem was first reported by Peter Eisch at boku and has since been 
re-reported by several other users. Previously there was only a work 
around available that involved restarting the dns cache service. Special 
thanks go to Mark Jenks who graciously tested several versions on 
hardware that experienced this issue. More testing is required so please 
let me know if anyone still sees the issue. A very important fix for 
phase2 negotiations has also been included. We now always respond to 
quick mode messages using the same ISAKMP SA as the initiator. Responses 
using another valid SA caused problems when communicating with several 
commercial gateways. The worst effected seemed to be Cisco and Juniper 
units. Thanks to all who performed testing and provided feedback. Please 
see the release changelogs on the download page for more detail.

I am looking into one other problem that was reported by Noach Sumner. 
Apparently, some Vista machines are not able to obtain a DHCP address 
after reboot. I will follow up with this and any other issues reported.

Thanks again,
