[vpn-help] Using VPN Trace utility

[Mike Parsons]

I'm still not having much luck.  I have clicked on the buttons you suggested
and I am running the trace program as you suggested.

However, all I am seeing in the log files are the initialization messages
with no data.  As expected, this is reflected in the log windows as no data
appears when I initiate the client request for connection.

Thanks.

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.
