I am currently running Windows 2003 Server. I have successfully setup a VPN server from behind a WGT624 netgear router. I currently have 3 live clients connected to it, and mapped a Z: drive which all can see and access. I can upload to the server perfectly fine from any of the clients, and browse perfectly. BUT, when i try to drag something FROM the server to any of the VPN connected machines.. I get a Not Responding after a long delay.. and I cannot do it.. Why is this?? I disabled Use default gateway in tcp/ip settings for the VPN so i can get Internet access running since when I was connected to the VPN i could not use the internet.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. my live VPN looks like this in ipconfig: PPP adapter VPNServer: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.5 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : pings come back constantly.. so its not disconnected when I am trying to copy that file to my local drive..

One more thing. The 2003 Server is only configured with 1 NIC. so it goes like this: NET->WGT624 router->2003 Server browsing from the client machines, directoy creation, etc seems to work perfectly. I just cant figure out why I can trasfer files TO the machine, just not FROM it.

Okay.. one more observation: It seems to be fine with SMALL files.. like 3K sized files.. they copy just fine. I noticed this when i ran `edit` on a text file.. and couldnt figure out why it would read that data into the editor if it cant read.. check it out: X:\test>copy routing.txt c:\1 1 file(s) copied. X:\test>copy putty.exe c:\1 The specified network name is no longer available. 0 file(s) copied. putty.exe is 372,736 bytes....

FIXED. Set the MTU to 900 on the WGT624 router.. can copy now.. weird.
