Hi Kevin Further to my original email I've done some more research and playing around with this. What I have found is:
On the successfully working Samsung Netbook the Vodafone USB Broadband Dongle created both a modem driver and a network card driver, the Shrew Soft Lightweight Filter binds to the connection that uses the network card driver and not the connection that uses the modem driver. On the Dell Laptop with the built in Dell 5520 (AKA Novatel EU870D) wireless WAN card there is only a modem driver and not a network card driver. The Shrew Soft Lightweight Filter does not binds to the network connection that uses the modem driver. I guess one question I have does Shrew in general work with modem connections? If not then how do I get a network card driver for Dell 5520 card? I've done quite a bit of research on the web and have not found any pointers on this at all. Do you know if anyone has successfully used Shrew with a Dell 5520 WWAN card? If so how? Just to reiterate my working system is: Soft (2.1.7) VPN Client working successfully on a Samsung Netbook running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit with a Vodafone USB dongle to my Draytek 2920Vn router. My non working system is: XPS M1330 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with a Dell 5520 Wireless Broadband adapter (again connecting to Vodafone), although I use the same configuration as the Samsung Netbook I cannot get a connection to my Draytek 2920Vn router. Any thoughts or pointers?

Maybe then Shrew will detect it and install itself into that adapter's stack? _______________________________________________ vpn-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shrew.net/mailman/listinfo/vpn-help _______________________________________________ vpn-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shrew.net/mailman/listinfo/vpn-help
