Hi Mike,

Some questions:

1. Do you have any other VPN software on the non-working machines?

2. Are the non-working machines on a Windows domain?

3. Does the Shrew client connect (you see "tunnel enabled" on the 
connect dialog) but you can't reach network resources, or can you not 
connect at all?

4. If you go into the network connection properties (e.g. Local Area 
Network Connection) and look at the list of adapters, where is Shrew in 
the list?  For instance, one of mine reads:

Client for Microsoft Networks
VMware Bridge Protocol
Shrew Soft Lightweight Filter
QoS Packet Scheduler
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
...
