Hi Jim, Thanks for replying. I have tried using both 32-bit and 64-bit, version 5.0.07.0240. 64-bit is always dropping and sometimes it just stops working - had to re-install. The 32-bit is a bit more stable but still it's not very natural to windows 8 and is unstable.
I was hoping I could replace it with Shrew client, it looks very good and the drivers hassle is cleaner. However, it's not going for phase 2. I already tried using 'force-rfc' on NAT traversal. I do know that even Cisco client dropped the first time it tried to connect; it would only work at the second attempt, don't know if that can be helpful in anyway. Any thoughts?
