[vpn-help] failing with WLAN connection on Win7 x64 [Shrew 2.2.0]

[Thorsten Albrecht]

Hello Kevin,

the solution was: first it was necessary (as I wrote) to disable the MS Virtual
WiFi Adapter to make Shrew VPN work. But Shrew VPN continued to work after
reenabling the Virtual Adapter again. So it was not necessary to
deinstall and reinstall everything.

> Hi Thorsten,

> Perhaps Shrew didn't install correctly on your machine, especially if 
> you did an upgrade from 2.1.7 to 2.2.0beta.  Could you try the following:

> 1. Uninstall Shrew.  Reboot.
> 2. Re-enable the Virtual WiFi Miniport adapter (you may have to use a 
> cmd prompt: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow).  Reboot.
> 3. Install Shrew 2.2.0 beta. Reboot.
> 4. Test a connection with Shrew.

> If Shrew 2.2.0beta2 does not work, also try 2.2.0beta1.  Maybe there's a
> regression bug in beta2.
