Hi Damion, hi all, since I run the most recent NT version of CIPE (2.0-pre15) I have a strange crash problem: CIPE runs very stable on the NT4.0 server and the associated W2K-remote workplaces. Nearly perfect, after I made a MTU fine tuning. I made huge fine transfers, tested heavy TCP and UDP traffic, all worked fine ... BUT, there is one occasion, when the tunnel goes down. If I do a remote control with VNC over the CIPE tunnel to a machine on the "hardwired" ethernet interface behind the server the tunnel will break down within minutes, and really only the tunnel, nothing more. No error message at all, it just stops to work. Then, when I try to stop the CIPE service on the server in that state, the NT4.0 server crashes silently without any blue screen ... Most irritating, when I use VNC over the tunnel to control the server itself, it is fine. When the VNC packets have to be passed further on by the server to the network, then it crashes the link ... By the way, the CIPE service, also with this distribution, still does not start more than 50% automatically after a reboot ... So, any ideas what could be improved to avoid the crashes? best regards, Jürgen
