[vpn-help] 'gateway is not responding' problem with Shrew soft VPN client

[KrishnaMohan Bandi]

Hi all,

    I have success in establishing a VPN connection using Shrew Soft VPN
client 2.2.0-beta-2 to a Digi Transport DR64 router. The client was running
on a Ubuntu system with kernel 2.6.32-31-generic.

Regards,
Krishnamohan
