[vpn-help] VPN client times out on Windows 7 with Killer e2200

Wed Dec 16 02:01:11 CST 2015

Hi Claude,

Sorry but no other solution for the moment, i think there is a
incompatibility between this NIC and Shrew driver...
and there is no active dev on Shrew, i think the better solution is to
check a another VPN client...

Cheers,
