We had a similar problem running Trac (tracd) on Windows Server 2003, where we could get small pages, but larger pages sometimes failed, and when we increased the size of the logo on the trac wiki, our VPN clients never received the logo. In our case the solution was to increase the TunnelMTU setting. You do this on the client computer, not the server. In the registry, go to HKLM/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Ndiswan/Parameters/Protocols/0 If this key doesn't exist, create it. Then modify or add DWORD entries: ProtocolType 800 hex PPPProtocolType 21 hex TunnelMTU 1250 decimal See microsoft kb article 826159 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826159) for details. Also google "VPN Tunnel MTU" for additional info (and yet more evidence on how Microsoft breaks everything). :) For what it's worth, this also resolved some problems we had with TortoiseSVN connecting to our Subversion server (running on the same Windows 2003 server as the tracd server), where large checkouts would hang. Hope this helps. Don --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
