[vpn-help] Internet connection dies after some minutes of heavy download traffic

[Uracs Tamás]

Hello,

I have the same problem, the only workaround so far is, the "uncheck and recheck" the Lightweight Filter. Hopefully in the next version this error will be corrected.

Best,

Tamas

Hi,

first I would like to thank you for your great product. After trying various other solutions without success, your program immediately worked.

Unfortunytely, there is one problem: After some minutes under heavy load, my internet connection is dead. Download stops and I cannot reach any page in my web browser.

The problem does not occur while I am actually connected through the Shrew Soft VPN Client with my work PC. During that time, I only generate small traffic, and everything works fine, even for long times (9 - 10 hours).

The problem does occur while I am NOT connected through the Shrew Soft VPN Client, i.e. when I am using my PC for private purposes (without any active VPN connection). During that time, I often download stuff from the Usenet with high speed (50 Mbps). And after some minutes of heavy download, my internet connection dies. Then I have to reboot my PC to get my internet connection back to normal.

I think the culprit is the 'Shrew Soft Leightweight Filter'. When I disable it in the properties of my LAN card, the problem vanishes.

The problem occurs with Shrew Soft VPN Client For Windows 2.1.5-release, 2.1.6-beta-7, and 2.1.6-beta-8. Using 64-bit Windows 7 Home.

Best regards,
Andreas
