Experts:
I am using Shrew client 2.2.0 on multiple laptops including XP SP3, WIN 7 SP1,
and Server 2003 (Standard Edition) SP2. My gateway is a Netgear FVS 338
running the latest firmware, 3.0.7-24. This runs through a transparent DSL
Bridge. My advertised speeds at home are 12Mbps up and 5 Mbps down. I am
remotely trying to connect through Verzion 3G MiFi cards.
I know 2003 was not listed as compatible with the Shrewsoft download, but i
tried it since XP was supported. It installed fine and successfully connects.
The server is an application server running a SQL database.
Without saying what I do, I run a deployable network that responds to some of
the worst conditions you can imagine. My team occasionally runs into the
challenge of setting up in multiple sites. Sometimes I am able to connect
these sites with my Moto Point-to-Point, but occasionally I do not have line of
sight. I am testing if I can connect the client stations to the application
server via remote VPN. All stations including server are VPN to an appliance
located in a fixed location...for testing purposes, my house.
I have been having problems with the multiple stations kicking off the the
stations that connected prior. I juggle the connection for a while, and soon
the VPN Gateway doesn't respond to anyone. Several hardware reboots later
things start connecting again with the same problem. I really noticed this
after I connected the server for the first time. Prior to that I was able to
RDP on station from the other station through the VPN Connection, so I know
they can reach each other.
I set up the Shrew exactly the way shown on the Shrew set-up page for netgear.
Maybe a question for further down the road, but can I set this up a different
way than shown on the Shrew set-up page? It ha me using 3DES, which I recall
uses a ton of processor resourses. I have a little different setup than most
homeowners. I also run a win 2008 R2 Enterprise Server at home, mostly just
for practice and familiarization. If anyone has suggestions for a better way
to set up, I am all ears. I am still a beginner in the IT world, but I do have
A+, NET+, SEC+, MCITP (system admin), and CCNA.
Thank you!
Josh
