[vpn-help] Problems on Windows 7/x64

[Tim Mensch]

Hi,

I've been suffering through random BSOD crashes on Windows 7 for a few 
weeks now, and I finally downloaded the tools to analyze a MiniDump file 
to see what was causing them. Turns out the crashes have all been in 
ShrewSoft driver components.

I was using 2.1.5, but when I started having other problems with 2.1.5 I 
started trying 2.1.6 beta (the other problems are a good topic for a 
separate thread, but in brief, after a while ShrewSoft will think I'm 
still connected, and the server log shows no change, but all actual 
attempted connections through the VPN fail). In the beta the location of 
the crash changes from vfilter.sys to virtualnet.sys; in both cases it 
appears that you're trying to write to either an illegal address or one 
that has been paged out.

I can provide the minidump files for your debugging enjoyment, though 
I'd rather not post them to this list, since I'm not sure what other 
data can be extracted from a minidump.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Tim
