[vpn-help] client connects from some locations, not my house!

Using the same machine, installation & VPN connection profile I am able to
connect to a CISCO PIX 515E from some locations (public library, remote
office, co-workers house), but not from my own home and not from my bosses
place. 

 

The machine I'm using is a Windows 7 64-bit running Shrew 2.2.0 (2.1.7 had
the exact same issue). 

 

My home internet connection is not stellar (It's rural wireless, up to 3Mbps
down/768 kbps up) but works well enough for the Cisco VPN client to connect
when running in XP mode. Could the connection speed be an issue for Shrew
even though Cisco works?

 

I've checked the connection MTU but didn't locate a problem there. 

 

>From my home, the connection attempt appears as follows:

config loaded for site '<IP ADDRESS>'

attached to key daemon ...

peer configured

iskamp proposal configured

esp proposal configured

client configured

local id configured

remote id configured

pre-shared key configured

bringing up tunnel ...

negotiation timout occurred

tunnel disabled

detached from key daemon

 

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide with this!

 

Cheers,

Scott
