Hello.

We recently put in place VPN in order to reach our HP3000 from outside our
firewall (E.g., for telecommuting).  We have had good success with the
connection except when attempting to use REFLECTION file transfer.  The
transfer will timeout, but, and here's the interesting part, not all of the
time.  Every once in a while, after several retries, the transfer succeeds.
In an effort to troubleshoot the problem, we went to the firewall and
temporarily allowed every thing to pass through between the PC and the 3000.
It made no difference.  The firewall logs do not indicate any blocking
transmissions.  These 2 facts lead us to believe that it is not a security
problem, but a timing problem.  However, we have not timing problems with
the VT session at all.  The file transfer is set up to use the
WRQ/Reflection protocol.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Thanks in advance for your time.
