Shrew wont connect after windows 8.1 upgrade

I am using Shrew for my VPN connection on Windows 8.0 successfully but it stopped working properly after I upgraded to Windows 8.1. It connects to VPN ok but I cannot access anything on the network. After several attempts it disconnects. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no affect.

Any help wild be appreciated. Thanks, Dave

I saw the same behaviour of Shrew on my machine; uninstalling, re-installing, manually deleting drivers and settings etc. didn't help.

As described here, I use TheGreenBow VPN Client now as an alternative, which works fine under Win 8.1.

What version are you using?

When 8.1 was pushed to me here, my copy of Shrew 2.2.2 Professional stopped connecting entirely, with a "tunnel disabled" message (there were 3 messages, that's the only one I can remember). It also hosed my Virtual Machine networking.

To fix, I uninstalled my VMs (VirtualBox, etc.), rebooted, re-installed Shrew, rebooted, and then reintalled VMs. Now everything is working correctly.

HTH!
