VPN is sensitive to changing IP Adresses but in theory the VPN  
endpoint should reestablish the connection. But if you suspend your  
Laptop ShrewSoft does not even know that something have changed and  
try to use the old tunnel/SA which might be expired already or refused  
by the remote because of address change.
