Hi,
I am setting up a IKE VPN gateway to a Juniper SSX series firewall. The
connection is now working however I carried out the initial work on my
notebook. This failed to connect and at no point showed any record in
the logs of the Juniper of attempting a connection. After much work
debugging I tried a different machine and this connected correctly first
time (using the same Internet gateway).
The symptom is that shrewsoft appears to install correctly (I have tried
this two or three times and rebooted each time) but times out on the
initial phase 1 key sending. It would appear that something is
preventing it from connecting. I have disabled both the windows firewall
and the antivirus (AVG).
The workstation is running Windows 7 Pro (32 bit) and I am using the
2.1.7 version of Shrewsoft. The other machine is in fact Windows 7 Home
(32 bit) and worked correctly with the same shrewsoft version.
Although my problem has been resolved (by using a different workstation)
I am concerned that I may encounter problems when I deploy the solution
to users.
Hi David,
If you're using Shrew 2.1.7 on laptops/notebooks with Windows 7, check
to see if they have a network device called the Microsoft Virtual WiFi
Miniport adapter. This adapter causes a conflict that causes Shrew to
stop working after a reboot (ie works fine when first installed, but
never again after a reboot).
You have two options:
1. Disable the Virtual WiFi Miniport (most people never use it).
2. Upgrade Shrew to the 2.2.0 betas which contain a fix for this
problem, but are obviously beta software and may not be recommended for
production use.
