I used ShrewSoft VPN to access a few work computers.

A few days ago the password has been changed so I have changed it at the credentials settings.

There are 2 scenarios:

• When trying to connect, I get this message:

negotiation timout occurred

Here is the IKE service log for it:

I've already reinstalled the software. What has gone wrong? What should I do?

I set the compatibility option of the .exe with Windows 7 and Shrew now works fine.

I had the same problem with ShrewSoft VPN on Windows 8.1 x64.
It wasn't connecting - it was only reaching to:

local id configured

remote id configured

pre-shared key configured

bringing up tunnel ...

and that's all. After some time it was disconnecting for timeout.

What I did was:

• uninstall ShrewSoft the usual way, then remove the leftovers




• found this article - https://lists.shrew.net/pipermail/vpn-help/2008-May/010123.html - it helped me uninstall ShrewSoft completely from the following locations:

the appdata folder, the programdata hidden folder

• the registry - open regedit.exe and search for the string "shrew" and delete everything you find. Most importantly the entry about the ShrewSoft Virtual adapter




• go to the folder c:windowssystem32drivers and delete "virtualnet.sys" and "vfilter.sys"




• reboot




• install ShrewSoft again




• reboot




• finally boot, start ShrewSoft, import your pcf and you're done - it works, finally!

All you need to do is open REGEDIT. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ SHREWSOFT/VPN. and delete all entries. Some entries won't get deleted though don't worry. Then, open the SHREWSOFT Application installer. Don't change install location. It will fail to search for certain values (the values we deleted) while installing. If error POPS, IGNORE it. Once installed. Start VPN CLIENT, Import .PCF file and Voila. It will work.
