[Vpn-help] Random connection loss but Shrew stays connected.

[a]

I also face exactly the same issue. Does any body else face this issue
or got it resolved? Please let me know.

ps: I have Windows 7 home premium 64bit and I have Shrew 2.1.5
installed in my machine. I never had this issue when I was running
cisco client on vista 32bit.

Hi Group.



I have successfully been able to connect the screw client to both a
Netgear FVS318v3 and an FVS336G using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.  I
have since dropped the FVS318 because it could not hold more than 8
VPN connections so we upgraded to the FVS336G.



I have a weird problem though.  I appear to be randomly dropping the
connection as follows:



When the VPN client is connected, remote desktop is used to connect to
a work desktop.

After connecting, remote desktop will either disconnect within approximately:

3 - 5 minutes,

45 minutes

not drop at all.



The remote desktop session disconnects but shrew still states it IS
connected.  When I try to ping any network device (including the
router I am connected to), I get no response (ping is turned on)



I am lost.  I have never seen a problem as random as this.  I have
tried changing all kinds of settings on both the VPN router and the
shrew client.  Nothing seems to give me a reliable connection.  The
router does also have 8 gateway to gateway IPSEC VPN's that are
constantly active however, the router should be able to host 25
simultaneous IPSEC VPN connections.



Anyone got any ideas?



I also see there is a new version available and I will install and
test but has anyone else had/solved this problem.
