Try ping'ing with larger packet sizes. Try multiple sizes, such as 500, 2000, 10000, 30000, 60000, and 65500. Might be an issue with path MTU. That's not uncommon with VPNs, since you're encapsulating datagrams inside datagrams -- an already max-size datagram then won't fit without fragmentation. That wouldn't show up with the default ping of 64 bytes. Could also be a name resolution issue. I've seen name resolution issues screw-up SMB, even when you give an IP address for the server name. Along those lines: Do you have WINS server(s) configured with all computers at all sites using the same set of WINS server(s)? If you are not using WINS, do you have NetBIOS-over-TCP/IP force-disabled on all clients? Describe your DNS topology, including domains, nameservers, which sites which nameservers are at, and which nameservers which clients are configured to use. You can substitute names if you want, but be complete. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
