An update: The resolution to this was that, according to Symantec Raptor Mobile(the VPN vendor) support that I had to downward adjust my MTU size because of problems with PPPoE. I set an MTU size of 1400 and all is well.

Best Regards, Adam

Yes, putty is the ssh client I tried using on Windows.

ssh wasn't even part of your original posting. If this has nothing to do with ssh (no ssh tunnel, no remote logins,...), we should stop talking about it :)

I am trying to do a p4 sync from p4win(or the command line `p4`) over my vpn connection. By all indications this should just work.

Right. So I go back to my original suggestion. When little packets work but large ones don't, the first thing that I would look at is how your firewall (or the remote firewall) treats ICMP packets.

If you are both handling them fine, use a tool like mtr(8) to do a traceroute with a large packet size to see if someone along the way is screwing up.

If you can't get mtr working, try using traceroute(8) to discover the path and then use ping(8) to each location with a large packet size (like someone else on the list mentioned).

Good luck,
