Shrew soft vpn negotiation timeout occured

Forum Wireless Networking : General Discussion Shrew soft vpn negotiation timeout occured

Setup, Configuration & Security

Hi all,

I have installed Shrew soft VPN version 2.1.7. on a windows 7 machine.
I am receiving the following error during connection however:

"bringing up tunnel ...
negotiation timout occurred
tunnel disabled
detached from key daemon ..."

Is anyone familiar with this error?
What is the solution?

Regards,

AL

Hi Al,
I had this issue on a Windows 8 Devel Preview machine. I disabled the network adapter for Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter. The retried my connection and was successful. I also had an issue where Cisco VPN client wouldn't connect either and this resolved it.

Hope this helps!
Jason

I have Win 7 Ultimate installed and I don't have Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter installed at all.

How I can fix this issue?

in case anyone wonders where they can find out if they have a "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" installed, go to network and sharing center, then click "change adapter settings". there should be a Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter if you have it. (mine's called "Wireless Network Connection 2" ).

when i disabled mine, my vpn connection succeeded as well. thanks jrodd77
