Hi Peter,

Since you're running Windows 7, I would suggest you try upgrading to the 
Shrew client 2.2.0 beta 2.

If you are running Shrew on a laptop that also has the Microsoft Virtual 
WiFi Miniport adapter installed, it is known to cause a conflict with 
Shrew that prevents it from connecting after a reboot has occured (in 
other words, Shrew works when first installed, then fails after the 
machine is restarted).  The Shrew 2.2.0 beta has a fix for this problem.
