Every time I have seen this problem, it has been related
to MTU. You can further test this by attempting to ftp a file larger
that 2kb - the first packet will likely arrive, but the transfer will
hang. Connections like telnet, ssh, and terminal services should
work fine. In all cases I have seen before, reducing the MTU on the
client to something small (e.g. start with 500 bytes) resolved the
issue. Try manually editing the registry to modify the MTU - see the
link on MS Technet that relates closely to the issue you describe: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q315008&

Subject: [FW-1] Outlook hangs through SecuRemote
I'm having some problems with my Securemote 4.1
client.
I am running Checkpoint VPN-1 version 4.1
on my server.
I have a high speed Verizon DSL
connection at home which used to work great.
I
could get to all my applications including my Outlook.
All of a sudden, my Outlook no longer works. It seems to hang.
Also, for
some reason, Outlook Web Access also
doesn't work and all I get is a blank
screen. When
I kill the VPN-1 service, Outlook Web Access seems to work
again.
I've asked around and no
other users are experiencing this issue.
I've
tried the connection from 3 different machines at home and it's the
same issue each time.
I can get
to some applications but not to all.
I came across
a post about using Dr. TCP to change the MTU. Did that...still
facing the problem. I'm just wondering why the problem
should arise all of a
sudden when everything
seemed to be working great.
Please advise.
Could my ISP have something to do with it ?
Thanks
