Rainer,

Try turning off NAT-T when using the WWAN connection.

Subject: [vpn-help] Problems connecting Windows7 over Broadband

Hi!

I installed the Shrew Soft Client (first 2.1.7 stable and now 2.2.0-b2) on my Windows 7 64 Bit Laptop and configured it to connect to a PFSense 2.0.1 Firewall.
It works fine when the laptop is connected via LAN or via WLAN (WLAN=802.11a/b). But when the laptop is connected via Mobile Broadband (with a SIM Card from a mobile phone provider) the Shrew Soft Client gets connected, but I can't get any traffic through the tunnel (e.g. ping).
I tried it with different mobile provider, no change. And I tried it also with different Mobile Broadband Adapters (one is internal in my Laptop and I got 2 mobile USB Adapters) -it does also not work.

But when I put the SIM Card to my IPhone and use tethering (WLAN between Laptop and IPhone) the VPN works! So I think the problem is not the provider.

In the archive of the mailing list I found the suggestion to disable a virtual Adapter, but there is no unused virtual adapter (and this should be fixed in 2.2.0)

Do you have any suggestions?

regards, rainer
