Hi Cinghiuz,

 From the name of the script you mentioned "Smoothl2tpwizard", I assume 
your Smoothwall requires an L2TP/IPsec client. This is actually the L2TP 
protocol inside of IPsec. The Shrew Soft VPN Client is a pure IPsec 
client so unfortunately I don't think it will work for you. However, I 
believe later Windows OSs may have an integrated L2TP/IPsec client ...
