Excellent. I really appreciate your help with this.

Yes. Start by uninstalling the current version and then install lwf-1 
and run your tests. Repeat with lwf-2 and wf-3. All three installers use 
slightly modified versions of the NDIS6 LWF driver. All three are broken 
for VPN client usage. After your done testing, you will have to 
re-install the latest 2.1.6 beta build to use the VPN client.

http://www.shrew.net/download/vpn/vpn-client-2.1.6-lwf-2.exe
http://www.shrew.net/download/vpn/vpn-client-2.1.6-lwf-3.exe

Also Note: I previously stated that these builds incrementally disable 
code paths in the driver, but they actually incrementally enable more 
code paths in the driver. So if you _CAN_ reproduce the issue with one 
of these builds, there is no need to test further. With any luck, the 
first one will work fine and the second or third will cause the issue.

Thanks again and please let me know how things go.
