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

[Uracs Tamás]

Hi Guys,

I had a connection loss 10 minutes ago with the lwf1. I searched something in google, so didn't done any heavy network load. :-(
I move to lwf2, and report back if having the issue again.

Best,

Tamas

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-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.
