Hi list, I have noticed that "bridge" mode in VMware Server/Workstation/Player doesn't work anymore after installing Shrew VPN-client. I have this problem on both Windows and Ubuntu. On Ubuntu Shrew VPN connects correctly, but doesn't forward any traffic. This is why I couldn't get Shrew VPN to work on Ubuntu 9.10, since I had VMware Player installed. On Windows no traffic is forwarded between host/guest machines in "bridge" mode when the "Shrew Soft Lightweight Filter" is enabled on the NIC, hence preventing the two programs to work simultaniously. Disabling Shrew filter fix the problem, or using NAT mode in guest OS. On Ubuntu this is far more "complicated" since when you install VMware server/player you compile in the network drivers into the kernel. In practice you can't have the two programs installed at the same Ubuntu system. Clearly Shrew VPN and VMware software interfer with each other.
Have anybody else experienced this? Ubuntu 9.10 -Shrew VPN 2.14 and Windows 7 64bit - Shrew VPN 2.15. Lars _______________________________________________ vpn-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shrew.net/mailman/listinfo/vpn-help
