[WW] Logs are pretty clear, occasionally there will be a "message not
received, retransmitting..." I've been seeing this as due to delay.
Ping response times from here to the 5xp untrusted interface at the
LAN range from 150ms to 250ms. From here to my firewall they are
10ms, from here to my ISP gateway they are 32ms.

  [WW} Good idea.... Here is an interesting result over the
tunnel...

       C:\>tracert 192.168.0.1

       Tracing route to 192.168.0.1 over a maximum of 30 hops

  [WW] At the moment I only have two sessions going. Symptoms are the
same with just one session from here. Logs at the remote seem okay,
logs at the 5XP aren't set up for Traffic, Self Log. No Device reset
entries. Active users showed 8 incoming sessions from the server's
IP, I bumped them off which didn't seem to change anything. Event log
showed the 5xp system clock being updated from the server, my login
for web management of the 5XP.

The search goes on...
