The http request is common. I have no idea why MS machines do it, but they do. This sounds like an MTU problem, you can manualy lower the MTU on the requesting machine but better fix is to make sure you dont have a router or firewall acting as a Path MTU black hole. -- Mitchell Rowton http://www.securitydocs.com/ NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments to it may contain privileged and confidential information from BDO Seidman, LLP.
