Hi,

I'm having no luck trying to get ShrewSoft VPN to work under Windows XP
Pro SP3 on my Lenovo T61 Laptop.

I've tried installing 2.1.6, 2.1.7 and 2.2.0 beta-1 and apparently get
the same problem with all three - the client reports 'network unavailable'.

I've done a bit of debugging on 2.1.7:

- in iked.log there are multiple 'vflt device attach failed' messages.

- ServiWin reports a device driver named 'pflt' loaded from
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\vfilter.sys  There appears to be no driver
named 'vflt' loaded.

- Device Manager shows an error for 'Shrew Soft Miniport Filter #2':
'Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may
be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)'

Additionally, the install/uninstall process frequently hangs around the
drvcfg / netcfg stage. Sometimes the only fix is to power off the system.

The system has never had another VPN client installed, but I have
configured a couple of VPNs under Windows 'Network Connections'
