[vpn-help] Using VPN Trace utility

Mike,

Do you run the Trace Utility as administrator? If you don't, no data will be logged ... in my case then.

Start -> All Programs -> ShrewSoft VPN client -> right click "Trace Utility" -> Run as administrator

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mike,
have you clicked on the 'play' button on the appropriate tabs - it seems to be 
controlling the Shrew IKE and other daemons ? (I may be wrong tho)
Especially, if you have changed the log level from none to another (in Options)

Also the trace log should be pressed-in. 
So to re-cap, when I start Shrew Trace, I look to click on
Open Log, Trace Log and make sure the > button is on too.

Lukasz
