Hmm,

strange. Me too have he same configuration, no problem. I hadn't to
setup any entries in the firewall. Please be aware that Microsoft's
Firewall normally blocks INCOMING traffic. OUTGOING traffic is
permitted.

Always use 2.1.7 with the 'virtua' adapter! Otherwise you can have
troubles with routes and DNS server, depending on the type of
Internet Access.

[email protected] Betreff: [vpn-help] Window VPN client 2.1.7
does not work with the firewall enabled.

Hi,

I've just installed the ShrewSoft VPN client 2.1.7 on a new Windows 7
64 bit laptop, with the latest patches. If I run the client with the
Windows firewall disabled, I can connect to the VPN server. If the
firewall is turned on, I appear to get the full connection up, but
any packets I send out just disappear.

We are using a Netgear FVS336GV1, with the latest version of the
software, configured as per the examples, except that our IP address
is 192.168.1.0/24.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to configure the firewall
to allow things to work. I have put "Access manager" and "ipsecc" in
the firewall exception list.


Hi Simon,

In addition to Christian's advice above about using the Shrew virtual adapter, I'd also recommend trying the Shrew 2.2.0beta2. The 2.2.0 codebase contains a number of changes related to Windows 7, some of which may include better interaction with the Windows firewall.
