    Hi all,

    I have this situation.
    I've made a VPN station on OpenBSD box. Some clients connecting to it are
    using Windows XP and some are using Windows server 2003. Connections between
    Windows server 2003 and OpenBSD work fine, but connections between Windows
    XP and OpenBSD sometimes work fine, but sometimes when bigger files are
    being copied, on Windows XP pops out the error "the network resource is no
    longer available", though ping is working perfectly (there are no any
    time-outs) and I still can copy smaller files... I don't understand, what
    could be a problem?
