[vpn-help] Shrewsoft VPN v.2.2.2 don't work with Windows 8.1 64bit

[Thinking Outside the Box]

Hello Jim,

Thanks for your reaction, but it does not help me.

When loading, only one instruction gives an error:

C:\Program Files\ShrewSoft\VPN Client\devcfg.exe –add net vnet c:\Program Files\ShrewSoft\VPN Client\drivers\virtualnet.inf

The error is:

“InstallSelectedDriver failed, error code=0x00000006”.

 

Any other suggestion?  Thank you.

Mike, I wish I could remember the exact steps I took to get things working after my 8.1 upgrade.  I also don't remember the specific symptom I experienced when trying to connect to the remote gateway - it may have been a negotiation timeout, but it also could have been an error related to the virtual adapter.

 

In any case, here are the steps I would take, if the problem happened to me again, and a simple uninstall/reboot/reinstall of the Shrew client didn't work:

 

- uninstall Shrew client

- remove any leftover traces of Shrew (program files / programdata / registry)

- remove any hidden non-present networking devices from device manager

- check that no Shrew filter drivers exist on the physical network interfaces; if so, remove them

- perform a 'netsh int tcp reset' and 'netsh winsock reset' from an administrative command prompt to "reset" the networking

- reboot and confirm all networking is functional

- install Shrew client "fresh"

- hope for the best!

 

HTH,

 

Jim

Hi Jim,

 

the Device is available. Removing the Device, including the .inf result in an file missing error by deinstalling shrew-soft. Rebooting and reinstalling doesn't solve.

 

Deinstalling, removing all "Shrew" in Registry, rebooting, reinstalling Shrew-Soft doesn't solve.

 

The problem "negotiation timeout occurs" remains ...

 

Any suggestion?

 

Thanxs

 

Mike

    Dear Sirs,

 

    I'm using several connections to different gateways. Since XP it works

    fine, also at last with W8-64. But since upgrading to 8.1 64 bit no

    connection works.

 

    The access-manager starts as usuall, connections regarsless if with

    XAUTH or not, but always with PSK, don't work.

 

    After "Bringing up tunnel ..." a timeout occurs

    negotiation timeout occurs

    tunnel diabled

    detached from key daemon

 

    Some of the target gateways are reachable over ISDN. There I can see,

    that no communication is receiving from the VPN-Client.

 

    My Internetconnection is done over a Wireless Intel 135 and a bintec

    rs232bw gateway. If I use an other machine running W7-64 all works fine,

    as it would be before upgrading my machine to Windows 8.1.

 

    Is there a solution available?

 

    With best regards

 

    Mike
