Shrew on OSX and Ubuntu has worked flawlessly since I installed it, it
never drops.. period.
On Windows 7, however, I am receiving a flurry of complaints from users who
report (in different ways) that the connection is dying and the only way
they can seem to resurrect the connection is to reboot the computer. This
is (obviously) not acceptable. We have tried to isolate a set of
circumstances which cause this problem to reproduce at will but alas we
were unsuccessful.
Hi Jason,
Are there other symptoms associated with the dropped tunnel? Like for
instance the apps or OS seem to lock up? Are your users accessing
network drives? Are they wired or wireless?
I discovered a problem with one user a little while ago. Her VPN would
disconnect/drop randomly, but not longer than 50 minutes after
connection. This drop would cause the system I/O to lock up pretty
hard, and you'd have to shutdown or reboot before it was functional
again. She has the Novell client installed, uses a gorgeous ultrabook
running Win7 (Pro I believe), and the problem only occurs when using
wireless.
Using ProcessExplorer, I'd find a thread using 100% of a CPU core.
ProcessExplorer identified it as "ntoskrnl.exe
KeReleaseInStackQueuedSpinLock+0x1e0"
I wasn't ever able to figure out what was causing it, but I'd be curious
if your users are experiencing the same thing.
