In addition to the issues raised by Mike and Charles, you might also look at the log on the PPTP client's side to see if you are seeing lots of out-of-order GRE packets. The Linux PPTP server performs rudimentry packet reordering but the client does not. This can cause poor performance in cases where there are multiple paths between the client and server and usually shows up when you are sending large messages. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy AIM: tmeastep \ http://www.shorewall.net ICQ: #60745924 \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
