==== Does the Shrew Soft Client support my 64bit Windows Operating System? ====
The Shrew Soft Client works with 32bit and 64bit versions of Micorsoft Windows 2000, XP Vista and 7 operating systems. The only exception is operating systems designed for the IA64 Intel Itanium processor architecture. These are not currently supported.

==== The Shrew Soft Client on Linux connects but doesn't pass traffic. ====
Most communications issues are related to site configuration errors. However, the default system settings for Linux distribution will vary. This following link describes how to work around a common problem which will cause valid IPsec packets to be dropped by the Linux kernel.

==== During install, I receive "Error 0x8004a029: Couldn't install the network component". ====
Error 0x8004a029 means that the maximum number of filter devices for the system has been reached. Other similar software ( VPN clients, 3rd party firewalls, etc ) install filters. You can either attempt to remove other software that has installed a filter, or attempt to increase the following registry entry value to allow more filters to be installed.

<tt>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\MaxNumFilters</tt>

==== After installing the client I can connect. But after I reboot, connections time out ====
If you are using a Wireless Adapter on Windows 7 and using client version 2.1.7 or earlier, this problem is related to the presence of a Microsoft Virtual Wifi Adapter. Disabling the adapter in the Network Connections dialog will allow the VPN client to connect properly. Client version 2.2.0 has a fix for this issue in the kernel driver and does not require the Virtual Wifi adapter to be disabled.
