You get to blame MS for that one.

See if you can connect using IP addresses. Name resolution in Windoze is
handled in a variety of ways depending on what version of Windows you
are running and whether you have a domain controller or a WINS server.
Bottom line: name service in Windows is weak at best.

If the IP connection works for you, there are a number of remediations
you can try to fix the name service issue. But to some degree, that's
really a separate issue from building a working IPSec tunnel.

I have seen others with similar problems but no solution.


Hi Dennis, here's some suggestions, assuming you're still having the problem.

I would first suggest you use the Shrew 2.2.0 beta client (if you're not already). It has a number of enhancements that may help. At the very least, it has better support for Windows 7 than Shrew version 2.1.7 does.

I would also have you check to ensure that that "Enable WINS" is checked on the "Name Resolution" tab in the Access Manager Site Configuration.

You could also generate a log file so we could see if WINS server details are being provided as part of the connection negotiation process:
