I wrote a pretty good explaination of the issues with VPN and Outlook/Exchange a number of months ago - its somewhere in the archives.
In a nutshell, the problem is MTU size - VPN's eat a portion of the MTU for the encapsulation overhead, and many times, data is sent with the "Do Not Fragment" bit set. The end result is any packet over about 1kb gets rejected. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
